I have a Polypterus bichir lapradei and about... 9 or 10 clown loaches. Once they get at least as large as the Synodontis eupterus and the (possible) Synodontis bastiani which are about 5-6 inches each and have been left alone before I took the lapradei out (she wasn't eating well, so went upstairs) would it be a disaster? My plan is once the Pacu are gone, I will have in my 78"x24"x24" tank:
  • 9-10 clown loach
  • 2 Synodontis eupterus
  • 1 (possible) Synodontis bastiani
  • 1 Polypterus bichir lapradei
  • 1 Tiger Oscar
  • 4-6 Giant Danios
  • 3-4 msc plecos
The tank will have a sand on the bottom, slate caves, carpeted plants on most of the bottom, and tons of plants. Its filtered by 2 Fluval FX5s (yes, the over kill :D) and 2 Superfish Air Flow 4s, has large "day" light, and a smaller "moonlight" light, with 2 small LED lights for "nightlights" (the pacu are cowards, but they will be moving on soon) Ideas?

Before you say - I know the clowns will get around a foot in size :) I just think they should be fine at 6 or 7. Ellie the lapradei is not at all phased by other fish, but I don't keep anything bite sized in there just in case :D
