I may be getting confused, you said you're selling your 63 litre, but want to put some fish in it?

im selling the tank on ebay, and giving some of the platies with it, and the silver molly who is being bullied by the golden loach

ive tried to give them away on here but nobody wants them, so im doing it thru ebay now

About 5-6 fish will be fine i wouldnt give them any unless your sure they want them. The golden loach is likely a SAE which get to about 15cm long and very aggressive so if its already starting to bully the mollys i would give it away/sell it

whats an SAE? i know they get a lot bigger, i had an adult before, who was very docile. this one is just crazy! very energetic! it gets on with all the other fish, always has, just not the silver molly

SAE = Siamese Algea Eater.

Though the 'golden loach' you describe sounds more like a 'chinese algea eater', Gyrinocheilus aymonieri. These are often sold in LFS and are reputed to get aggressive with age.

Thought i'd be fine with another, as the last one i had had a lovely if not somewhat shy temperament! Ah well, live n learn
