What kind of loaches do you keep?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
FunWow, what kind of filtration you running there? SZ tank? Surprised it's not a sump.
2 Fx5's on my 180 and 2 sponge filters... Other 125 with Fx6 and a AC110. Still I need to do a few big water changes every week 60-80%. Still need another tank to spread out the fish I got though so I can lessen some of the water changes.

I thought I was overstocked with my 170g. You are my idol, bro!
 
What's the aggression level with your tigers? Do they harass the clowns? I've been wanting to get clowns but read that they don't do so well with tigers or skunks.
Well the Tigers fight with each other but I keep 2 per tank. There's so many clowns in each tank that they don't even bother them... Plus the clowns are bigger then them. I also have yoyos and pokadot loaches smaller they don't mess with. Tigers are 4.5-6.5inches so you have a idea. Just get big clowns

Clowns here are expensive. 3" for $17.99 @ lfs. Petco sells them for $7.99-9.99 but super skinny and not healthy. I think I'll just increase my skunk loaches to 5-7.
