New Fish!

[Uncoordinated_fish]

Hey everyone just thought I'd let you all know I got some new fish about 2 hours ago.

2 flame gouramis
2 blue coral gouramis
2 bristle nose pleco (babies
And a new clown loach for my 2 other big fellas.

I got the water tested the pH was perfect and the guy said I could now put the fish in.

One problem my 2 older clown laches keep hiding in my rock anyway to make them come out and meet the newie?

Cheers

Did you cycle your aquarium?
 
What is your tank size?
 
Apart from pH, you need to be aware of your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate numbers. 
 
The existing clown loaches, how long have they been in the tank? They may still be adjusting if you've only recently added them. They also prefer groups of at least six, so that may be a factor.

The tank was fine it is 2 ft long by 1 ft clown loaches I have had for a year

Are you aware that your tank is far too small for your loaches? I'm not trying to pick on you, these are just tank busters.

yeah they haven't grown I'm pretty sure there stunted

I think the best thing for you to do for them is rehome them.

Your tank is too small for the loaches, the fact they havent grown should point to that as a fact. You need to rehome them. You are shortening their lifespan, please let them go to someone who can house them appropriately, so they can grow and be happy.

I think by adding that many fish at once, you best brace yourself for some possible heartbreak
