why split your pack? keep them together my friend has 130 loaches in a overfiltered 180g ranging from 4"-12" and they look awesome!

I'll look at the stock, I will end up with 27, 6 are about 4-6 range, 4 are about 3-4 inches, 17 are about 2-3 inches. I might be under filter (Large sump with Genx PCX40 return, and a Fluval FX5) and my tank is not wide enough, it's a 48X24X24, I'm hoping to trade my 48X24X24 to a 96X24X20, that case I will keep all 27 in one tank.

Justin, If I can keep my focus, these guys are going to stay with me for a long long, time, I'm looking to get a 200Gallon and plant some amazon swords after the new year.

I'm also in the market for a UV sterilizer, its a must have for my loach tank.

I will take more pictures if and when I have time.

I've cut some PVC pipes for them to hide in but they are not using it.

I'm hoping to get some manzanita tree truck this spring/summer time and replace the PVC pipes.

thanks for the few compliments... :)
 
Nice collection you've there. Glad to see you came back to clowns, too. They are such great fish to watch and enjoy. I wish I had a tank with a shoal of clowns myself.

I can't wait to get a nice 200 Gallon going, I'm waiting for the Orange Heads Fries, :) My 3 largest will be going where my Fire Eel went.

imagine a 200 gallon 96X24X20, with some amazon swords, some mature orange heads, a few tetras, that is my goal. I will continue this thread with updates. fingers crossed that my buddy won't change his mind about the exchange.

Glad to be back, I was terrified when I loss my discus collection and the Clowns. I have learned a lot and is ready for Clowns but I won't go back to Discus.

I will be getting a UV sterilizer, run FX5, and sump/pump of 1100gph, 2 heaters, and Prime water.

watched the videos, there's a monster loach in that shoal! and more clown loach videos.

thanks for the advice on the white PVC pipe, I've been holding it down with the rocks, using black PVCs.
