Snowman Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, I have seen similar Tiger Botias at hollywood before but not this particular one, if they are like the normal Tigers i have seen they are quite aggressive, a mate kept one with his oscars, severum and jewel chiclids and the loach used to chase the severums and jewels even with a huge size difference, the oscars could easily have eaten it but for some reason they had a very healthy respect for it. What i classify as a s@#$head fish LOL I have a 4ft tank with 7 different species of loach (30 in total) and would definetly not add one to that, but may end up with one in my oscar tank (520ltrs).

coelacanth Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 what are the seven species of loaches in your tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 The standard clowns, striata, yo-yo, angelicious, golden zebra, rostrata and queen. I want to get a 6'x2'x2' and add zodiac and red tailed loaches, the only other inhabitants of this 4ft is a 35-40cm BGK and 1 large angel.

Fenriswolf Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Your BGK doesn't eat your loaches?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 No but there are lots of hiding places they can fit in that he cant and extremely fast, he usually gets 10 neons a week and there is one neon that must be a master of disquise because its survived 2 weeks, 10 neons usually only lasts a day or two.
