I have a 125 gallon tank that has a handful of cichlids (two severums, two EBAs, chocolate, all pretty young) and an almost 12" delhezi bichir. How much would you trust a 12" delhezi with a group of 2.75"-3" clown loaches? Not dead set on them, just interested in hearing any experiences/views. Thanks!

I personally wouldn't risk it clown loaches have sharp hook like spines under each eye. If the Delhezi tries to swallow one it probably will choke to death.

I figured, I had read a handful of posts with differing opinions but just wanted to see if they would work in my specific case. Definitely not gonna put my bichir at risk. Thanks!
