plec with clown loaches

[crookedfish]

Do clown loaches get on with plecos like a clown plec as long as there is enough food and hiding places?

Cheers

I have 3 clown loaches in a tank with one Gibbiceps plec, and one Royal Plec, never had an issue with them. If anything, the Clowns and the Gibbiceps are friends!!!

no problems...

one of our clowns is often found hanging out in the cave with our plecs in the 50gal.

That shouldn't be a problem.

I do have a question though - would it be too much to put 3 bristlenose pleco and 3 or 4 clown loaches in the same tank? This tank is only 3ft in length, which I'm sure is too small for clown loaches in the long run, but I have plans to accomodate them eventually.

Thanks for the replys peeps.

I was getting a little concerned as I read an article about the clown pleco and it said that they didn't get on the Botias because there diet was very similar and they might fight.

My Clown Plec (L015) gets on with my clown loaches and also lives with them under the bog wood and seem very happy.

Thanks again
