The angelicus loaches I have get to be about 6" at max. But I can't say for entire certainty what their growth rate is. I have had them since they were about 2" long each and after 2-3 months, I have 4 at 2.5" and 2 at 3". As far as I know, there is no known way to sex them since they cannot be bred in captivity. So either the two large ones are of the same sex or they just get more food than the others. As far as their aggression goes, I have not seen any at all with any of the fish they have been kept with. They have eaten fish that die or have been killed (my old blue acara was predatory with anything 1/2 or less its size).
With the geos maxing at 8", the loaches and keyholes at 6" and the kribs at 5", I think the bottom layer will be too crowded. I can't keep a group of geos smaller than four and I definitely want the keyholes. I honestly may rehome the loaches since the geos would also be my bottom cleaners since they sift the sand like the loaches would. The geos and kribs are far more colorful than the loaches. Any opinions on personality? Many loach owners say their loaches have big personalities, but all mine show is a great love for me when I show up to feed them. LOL Other than that, they don't have the big personalities I have read about.
