I've had 6 in a 125gal, lots of rock work & some plastic plants for 2 months or so.

I lost one and then these two started hanging out on one end and dug out the rocks etc. Just thought I'd share.

Their beginning November 08

I picked up three others, about 1 inch larger then the original three.

awesome!!! how do you keep them from killing eachother/the Loaches?

Hypnosis...loaches can protect themselves very well. I've kept them with loaches, south american cichlids (vieja argentea), polleni and for a while some Dats...when they got over 4 inches I put them in a 125 gallon tank by themselves.
