Loach grow out...

[Jrp0405]

hey everyone, made my first foray into clown loaches...very happy with the decision. Currently I have 7 small loaches (2-4 inches) in a 30 gallon grow out with a few silver dollars. Everything seems to be going well, good appetites, lots of activity...at what point should I move them to a 75 gallon grow out? I don't want to mess up a good thing, but I also don't want to stunt growth. Thoughts?

I would have started them in the 75 right away. Is there anything in the 75?

Welcome. Send the pictures of your clown right away. Usually a minimum for a tank is a 120 gallon. Clowns need space to zoom in and out. Mine is in a 6 * 2 *"2 and even that isn't enough. But I don't know the space anymore.

Some bichirs and a wolf fish I can relocate.

It's nothing fancy, but here is a pic...
