Is there any reason why I shouldn't put zamora cats with clown-loach?

5x woodies @3.5~4" are a little bigger than the 5x CL @2~2.5", but not by enough to swallow anybody. Started at same size & same shipment, but woodies are growing according to reputation.

55Gal with heaps of bamboo & flow, breeder guppies, scuds & "clean" MTS (IE grub). They'll move to the 100Gal as soon as the arowana outgrows it (~12" now) for the in-wall, then pond in the fall. I'd love to put the cats & clowns in the C now, but not keen on the munching/choking risk.

Shouldn't be an issue at all. Your Zamoras are just about fully grown and I've only had my 3"-4" Clown Loaches predate on Guppies if not fed well. Just give plenty of hiding spaces for both species as they all like to hide.
