OH...IO
Any chance of keeping a paroon or irredescent in the same tank as clown loachs? I'm afraid the clowns would end up as lunch but wanted opinions.

i think they would eventually as clown loaches grow very slow and usually stop at about 8" in captivity.. most 12" specimens are wild caugth..

my 24" paroon can already eat 8" fish easily :)
 
How long did it take your paroon to reach 24"? Your pond is sweet by the way.
 
I would wholeheartedly second what kido just said. The clowns would look like candy corn to the paroons in no time. :p

Get in my belly. Going ,going gone . How's that . You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat . :22_yikes:
 
parrons are gentle giants, not very good predators, but huge and hungry and nothing can eat them!!!!!!!!!!
