hmm do you think i could keep two pictus in a 55?

i would love some synos

but as i said before, there are none around here

why not try online purchase? if you want one that is.

i wouldn't. get one and keep looking for some synos. you are still going to have to gravelvac even with bottom feeders

 

[gobucks1]

Except that A) Clown Loaches are extremely slow growing and B) they rarely get that big except in public aquariums.

I have a clown loach I have had for more than 10 years. They guy is like 5 inches long if that.
