Loach Tank: A great theme tank.

[ewurm]

I have a 40 gal with:

9 clown loaches, varied sizes.

1 Panther loach.

1 Burmese Botia

1 Skunk Loach

1 Yo-Yo Loach

Also: 1 Electric Blue Crayfish

1 Big Angelfish

5 Glass Barbs

1 Golden Wonder Killie

1 Butterfly Goodeid

1 Bluegill Sunfish

3 Big Corys

I really enjoy the commotion in this tank. The colors and shapes really add to the look.
I lost a Kuhlii Loach to unexpected DEATH, but I plan to replace it and get a Weather Loach. Any other ideas for more loaches?

I have always wanted to do a loach tank. Here is a link you might find cool.

You can get to the gallery way at the bottom.

You must not have read the name. Ewurm does not do pics.... or rather he CAN'T do pics.

I would get a couple more yoyos ... those guys are a gas!

I was lucky enough to find a "yoyoyo" the other day. He had 3 perfect yo's on his side. Unfortunately I accidently raised the water a little high and him and one of his buddies jumped ship, so I had to replace him with a normal one...

Sounds like an awesome tank.

I had a skunk loach in with all my clowns, I was hoping that he would school with them. It never happened and now I can't find him.

I am suprised that the crayfish hasn't got to your loaches yet. I want one for my tank, but am too scared to try.

The crayfish leaves them alone, unless they get to close while feeding. They are too fast to get caught by the cray. And yes, I suck at pics.

Stop laughing, that's not funny. It's a disability.

Does anyone have more suggestions for loaches that I don't have?
