Is My Tank Compatible For Pakistani Loaches

[Ivan Sloshed]

Is my tank compatible for pakistani loaches. I have a 36" X 18" X 12" tank planted, Lighting 1 (Arcadia) 24" tropical 18w neon tube, Fish are 5 neons, 5 Head & Tail light fish, 2 chinese algae eaters, 1 Male Guppies & 7 baby ones, 3 Platy,s, and 1 (7") Pleco. Why im asking is beacuse ive heard that they are good at eating snails and would like them to keep them in check would they be ok with my other fish, im thinking of moveing the cae's out and the common pleco, hes getting too big.

although not ideal you tank is ok for young pakistanis aka yoyos Botia almorhae .
I would choose polkadot loachesBotia kubotai, two stripe loachesBotia rostrata or zebra loachesBotia striata for that sized tank.

Thanks Ivor
