Sucking Loach with Clown Loaches

[noonoo1]

I have one sucking loach and wanted to get 2 clown loaches, will they get on together? My sucking loach, Dotty can be very territorial, on a bad day (although my Golden Ram will keep her in check), she is about 3 inches long. I wanted to get a couple of Clowns, one because i like the look if them and also i wanted them in the tank to get rid of a few snails. Can only have a max of 2 as my tank is 100 lts.

Any views?

The clowns might not do as well if there are only two; you really only ger to see their full personality with 3 or more. And if your tank is only 100 liters and I did my calculations properly (I work better with gallons ), then you won't be able to keep the clowns in there for too long. Those clown loaches will probably get around 8-10 inches (20-25 cm), which is too big for 20-some gallons. I reccomend putting a group of 3 or more in a larger tank.

appreciate your thoughts if my tank is to small and i can't get a bigger one (lack of sapce) any views on bristlenose catfish with a sucking loach. I wanted some more fish that are bottom dwellers.

You could get some Botia Striatia (sp?), or some horse faced loaches.
