things you have tentatively planned for the tank, I would hold off on the clown loaches. They need room and a heavily planted tank (as well as all the other tankmates) will not allow them to have an optimum habitat....not to mention their penchant for "unplanting" as they get larger :-) My CL's push some of my plastic plants around...I wouldn't think it was so cute if they were real plants.
:I recently moved from a 20 to 75 gallon tank. Right now I've got 3 neon tetras, 6 black tetras, a nice gold angel, a weather loach, ring loach, pleco, and one other alge eater I'm not going to try to spell.
:I'm thinking I may take the tank in the direction of an angel tank, possibly with some rainbows as well (I'm debating on whether to keep or get rid of the tetras). I'm adding driftwood and the tank will be fairly heavily planted. I've had horseface loaches in the past and love them - I'd like to get one or two of them. Would it be appropriate to get some clown loaches as well, or would that be over doing things?
