Nice, you have my fav tetra, the harlequin. At least that's what I called the fish in this picture back in the 70's. I was not able to get these anywhere when I lived in Hawaii. Now I live in Milwaukee and hope to get a tank up soon. I hope I can find some here.

Hey nice tank, love the plants, bogwood and pebbles on the nice sand!

But..... your tank is not big enough to be a home for your clown loaches, and if that is a common pleco it's too small for him too.

The plec is a Bristlenose and will only grow to a max. of 8 inches so should be suitable for this tank. A work colleague who is also a well known 'Plecaholic' on this forum, I had consulted his advice prior to purchasing this fish so I have it on good advice that this tank is suitable.

As for the Clown Loaches, I am aware of the fact that these can grow to quite a large size (16 inches) and in time will require a much larger tank. However, as these are only juveniles (2 of them currently 1 & 1/2 to 2 inches in size) should be okay for a few years until they get too large. Besides, they are helping to keep my snail population in check as I over indulged on MTS's to keep my sand from compacting.

There are other loaches from the botia family that are good at keeping snail populations down, some also sift the sand as well. e.g. Zipper Loach (Acanthocobitis botia).
