Hi good vids. dont know if i like the colour of the gravel tho lol
what size is the tank?
Has it been set up long?

 

[Montizuma]

haha the gravel looks better in the light. i will get one with the light when my batts are charged Its a 20 gallon tank and its been set up with fish in it for about 3 weeks thanks foxycatfish

im sorry, but your tank is WAY too small for a clown loach.
clown loachs will grow up to 14 inches long. you need a 75 gallon tank minimum for clowns.

Are your tiger Barbs fighting alot? if they are best to put a couple more in.

 

[Musho3210]

ever plan on upgrading within... maybe 1-2 years?

I agree the tank is way to small for clown loaches.
Some good advice research fish before you buy.
Not keen on the gravel either, but it is your choice lol.

Iam not planning on keeping the loaches till they are that big my friend wants them b/c his fish are big and the loaches would be food if i gave them to him as is

One of my clown loaches died earlier today and after that i have one barb that got tons of color reds and even a little green and all his colors have become very very obvious, and hes been chasing around the other male and the 3 females around alt to the point were 3 of the five fish hide on the other side of the tank. I really don't want to get more b/c i plan on getting other fish to but i don't know what. BUt if i have to get 2 or 3 more then i will

well IMO your choices are

A ) give the barbs away if you want other fish other wise the constant bickering will stress the barbs who are being picked on and sometimes they will die from the stress, not to mention Barbs may turn on your other fish since they are in a small group. (when I first got my Barbs I made the mistake of only getting 3 the dominat one nipped and bulled the other 2 until one of them became so stressed and distraught they died after doing my research I realised the error of my ways and got lots more Tiger Barbs and this solved the problem for me)

or

B ) Buy more Tiger Barbs and wait till you get a bigger tank to get more fish......... if Barbs are in big groups they will leave there other tank mates alone.

OK thanks i had saw in another of ur posts that 6 is the magic number is that true

Yes 6 seems to be the magic number but sometimes it will need to be 8 just depends but between 6-8 is the suggested minimum
