Which cichlids do you keep with your clown loaches?

yea i was just wondering i have an African Tank and a CA/SA tank so idk what to put them in they are 1-1.5in in a 20 gallon long idk how long they will be ok in there

They may be more active in the CA/SA tank since I assume the water is softer/more acidic in that tank? They should be fine in the 20G Long for a year or so, but not if they get over about 3". If yours grow that fast, move them up to a bigger tank, but make sure you don't isolate any of them. Just move at least 3 at a time, preferably 5 at a time. Gotta keep the shoal intact or the isolated ones can get territorial.

My four CL's are with 2 Yo-Yo's in a mostly Tanganyikan set-up. A couple of malwaians (Labs) too. I have hard tap water that is pretty neutral in pH. Everyone is doing great.

well how big can they get in my 20 gallon long...i don't want to stun growth but id like them to get larger b4 i move them...

so once they get 3in move them and that should be about a year? givee or take with food and water changes(only feeding bloodworms, idk what else they like)
