[brigette17]

i heard that clown loaches get large but i wanna know can a 55 gallon big enough for a pair?

I am not 100% sure, but a) I feel they need to be in groups, like 6 or so. I think they get up to 6"+, though someone can answer that one better.

3 should be ok, they tend to be a bit shy in smaller numbers though.

75G is reccomended as far as i know and im sure they can reach upto 12". Should be in groups too

I have 4 in a 60 gallon tank. They are very shy and other than being out at night, you hardly see them as they hide at the back in the plants

My two are just babies right now, only about 2" long. They are awesome, so active. Haven't seen one pest snail since I got them either!

The LFS/breeder I got mine from said they'd be fine in my 39 gal. and they like to be in groups of at least 2 to 6.

mine were like that, but 2 months later they are just getting a bit more confident to come out during the day now

lovely fish, not spotted a single snail since getting them!

I have 2 and they are very shy I also have them in a 36g tank.

not being rude but just because they are shy doesn't mean they don't need the right conditions, infact the main reason they are shy is because they need to be in bigger groups, IMO 4 minimum in a 75 gallon tank...thats the minimum IMO
