PETEYPLECO Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Admitting I do not recognise some of the fish you have mentioned (bgk?) so long as the tanks water conditions are okay (cycled, temp, ph) and you add them gradually (not all 20 at once, $$$ ouch ) it guess it would be okay but when the fish start to grow up you may have a problem as your tank would be a little small / overcrouded.

Tsarmina Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 a black ghost knife (bgk) can get up to 50cm though it does take some time. also, they have extremely large mouths and will eat anything that will fit (and some things that don't) as for your pleco, what type is it? if it is a common, they also get VERY large.

michael.qian Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think 20 clown loaches is way too much for a 250L tank. I would add about 4-6 small ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
