2x clown loach,

can i keep Bettas, or Siamese fighting fish with these fish i have

or could any body give me some ideas on pretty colourfull fish i can keep with these?

bettas should never be kept with shoaling species ( as 99% of them fin nip)

gouramis are very colourful, honey gouramis i prefer, neon tetras are very colourful, but require a mature tank 6 months plus in age running problem free.

you could take a look at glowlight tetras, they have a nice colour to them and you might like fancy guppies or if you could find some green cobra guppies (there is speculation that guppies aren't very hardy in recent years)

Some neon tetras, cardinal tetra, mollies, platies, guppies, and u can get some ottos as a shoaling fish. Or u can have a BN pleco.

It's generally not advisable to mix Bettas and Gouramis either. They are closely related and occupy the same area of the tank. Due to the similarity in shape, your Betta may mistake your Gourami for another Betta and attack it.

if your water is nice, how about a bristlenose instead of the SAE as they get aggressive. but remember to put those veggies in.

gold rams add some nice colour as well as rainbow fish

in my honest opinion, yout tank is not big enough for anymore loachs, never mind the ones you have now

 

[nosoup4you]

He doesn't have any Tetras and 60 gallons should be large enough for a decent sized shoal.

After reading back through, did you mean loaches? If so, I agree.
