Hello,

I am planning to get about a dozen of clown added to my collection, before that I was wondering if they will be OK with both my Jar and Lei aro (15-16") and 5 Dats..??

I'm afraid that the Aro might eat them all...any comment or advise on this?

Thanks.;)
 
I have seven clown loaches 5-7" in with a 17" leichardti. If I don't stuff him with food daily they will have split fins the next day. I am actually moving the aro today so he will stop bothering them.
 
Get the biggest loaches you can and provide plenty of hiding spots. Risky but you could worth a try.
 
The Clown would be 4-5"....thanks for the heads up!
 
I had to take my clown loaches out my my 125 because my 9 inch pike was trying to eat them. Biggest cl he was trying to eat it 4 inches. Lucky for the cl's they were quick enough, but he eventually would have got 'em.
