I do 30-50% water changes about every 3 days on all of these tanks and aggression is not a real big issue YET. I've been trying to rehome probably 70% of my stocklist for a while now. Most of them came with 2 120's I got and when I got home one of the tanks blew out on me. Once I can get rid of both shovelnose cats I've got a lot of re-arranging to do. The 5 saggitae, 5 lyonsi, and 6 midas I'll be keeping breeding pairs of the first 2 species to pair off then the rest are going. The vieja were meant to be sold but my gf mixed them with some hybrids which I can't tell a part now. The 40gallon is my loach grow out, I bought them for $2 at 2" but they came in at more like 1.5". I plan on growing them out but I have a lot of people willing to give me $5 a loach right now so most of them should be sold soon. For the record I'm only selling them in 5+.

I've had a weird obsession with loaches lately lol.. It all started a couple of months ago when I wanted to get my girlfriend some fish for helping me out so much and I ended up getting 5x 3" clown loaches for $7 a piece from my fish dealer who always hooks me up. I got a great deal on them, they came in a tiny bit bigger than 3" and they've actually been growing nicely since I've had them too.
Next I found the kuhlii's on sale for $1 so I got 5 of them but the lady was cool and gave me 6 she just made me get them myself lol..
After that I was kind of hooked. I had a order coming in from a wholesaler and they had a ton of loaches on their list. I ended up getting 4x 2" red tail botia @ $2.50 a piece. I also placed a order for 15 clown loaches that were supposed to be 2" but they came in about a half inch small but still well worth the $2 a piece I paid for them. Lost about 4 of them to random events but most of them are still doing great.
I was recently at a pet store out of town picking up some feeders for my bullfrog and while I was waiting I discovered "cotton candy loaches." I looked at them for a minute and didn't even really think about the name. They were only maybe 1.25" but at $2 I said give me 5 of them. On my way home looking at them I discovered why they were called cotton candy loaches and realized they were dyed. If I would have known I wouldn't have bought them but the dye is so faint you can barely even tell anymore. They turned out to be skunk loaches but awesome little guys nonetheless. When they get a little bigger they'll have fun playing with my cichlids.
