clown loach's?

[superluke]

i'm setting up a 100 gal tank and am stocking it with 2-3 tiger oscars 1 fire eel 1 black lancer cat and was wondering if i can add a shoal of 6 clown loach's it will have good filteraton and a couple of extra power heads and will be about 26-27c

Wow, sounds like my tank. See my sig for the stock. Just picked up another loach.

Your tank is well overstocked at this rate. Tiger oscars and black lancer catfish will not mix well with clown loaches. I know too well that most clown loaches we get are rather emaciated and mostly at 2-3 inches in size.

Why are you going with three Oscars? Sounds like a fight waiting to happen. Loaches are OK with Oscars as long as they have hiding places and won't fit in the Oscars mouth. They won't be at their best with that huge predator looming.
