They do require very clean, highly oxygenated water. I had them before and they were pretty finicky about their water params and so I did 2 water changes weekly. But besides that these guys ate everything and anything I threw in the tank.

thanks Planning to get some 7 inchers.
Will be feeding them with mostly chopped fish.
they'll be housed with my 22 inch arowana.

up up are they also salt sensitive?
do they have spike like that of a clown loach?
will they get along with clown loaches?

 

[Skittle]

Im pretty sure all loaches are salt sensitive because they have plates, not scales, and they also all have the spine below there eyes
