Bengal And Zebra Loach Compatibility

[HughÉire]

Hi, Until recently i had two bengal loaches, however one has since died and i was unable to get another anywhere near to me. I have now added in a zebra loach 'as company' for the bengal as they don't do very well on their own. Will this be ok or would another bengal loach be better?

You need to keep any peaceful botia species in sufficient numbers, 5+ is the usual recommendation. Mixing different species usually does not create a shoal.
