Southerrrngirrl Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Loaches Online suggests: "Considering its relatively diminutive size, this is a very feisty loach species, which is not suitable for community aquariums. Must be maintained in groups of 5 or more in order to spread any aggression and to allow the fish to form a natural hierarchy. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paekakboyz Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I had 3 skunk loaches in a community tank of cory's, cardinals and rams for around a year - they were really active and fought amongst themselves. But when one died and I was down to 2 they def hassled other fish. I now have 4 chain loaches and they are way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelenMac Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 There is two skunk loaches in the main tank. Have a large clown loach who is now all on his own in a separate tank which want to close down and so want to introduce him to the main tank. He is considerable bigger than the skunk loaches.

Hi Helen, Are you intending to keep just the one clown loach? Have you considered re-homing him so he can live in a group with other clowns, or gatting more clowns to keep him company?
