Loaches and Agressive fish.

[Eric A]

Hi all.

Will it work? That is, 3 to 5 (depending how many more I get to make a suitable group) pakistani loaches in a 4'x18"x24" with Firemouth Cichlids, Salvini Cichlids, Sajica Cichlids, Nicaraguense, Pictus Catfish and Snakehead Gudgeons (not much info on net but 25cm long, fairly aggressive, bottom dweller, big mouth).

Will it work?

If the loaches are large enough and have enough hiding places it may work

 

[Eric A]

May? Not very convincing. The loaches are small now but will grow in the 4'.

4 inches? No. 5-6 inches more like. They're fast growers. The only fish I have not tried are the snakehead gudgeons so I can't comment there but the rest are fine. Make sure the yoyos are full grown already.

I'll probably have the snakeheads seperated until the yoyos grow. The snakehead will be about 15-20cm allready and the loaches are only 3" LOL
