Zebra And Angelicus

[TrainRek77]

Will zebra and angelicus loaches socialize like they're all of the same species?
That's kind of a poor question but I'm having trouble articulating.
I know that loaches in general are really social and enjoy have a lot of their own kind around. What I want to know is it seems the angelicus and zebra botia seem to have a lot of similarities. Does anyone think 2 zebra and 2 angelicus will get along like 4 of one of the species?

IME, No. Although two species that look alike may shoal with one another, it won't be the same as if they were of the same species. That's what I've seen with cories, tetras, and khulis. One species if kept in too small a group will try to "fit in" with the more dominant group, but they'll usually stay kinda isolated and shy. Also, they should be kept in groups of 6 rather than 4. Pick whichever species you like more and stick with it.
