Hey all,
Please suggest tank mates for my 7 four year old clown loaches plus 1 baby clown.
I am not a person that buys fish often and I have kept mostly the same fish for years. I tend to own long lived species and don't mind it that way...I hate fish dying on me
Now I want a bunch of interesting, non-aggressive tank mates for my clown loaches that are not too timid.
So far I am interested in Denison barbs/Rose line sharks, Rainbow fish of all species, big and small varieties and..... that's about it....I am not sure what else is out there. We have good enough shops here, I can get them to order what I want once I am sure I'll buy it....
I was also looking into a peacock eel as just an interesting addition. Has anyone kept those eels? It looks like an fascinating fish to own....There are also other small enough eel varieties that are not aggressive and could be suitable...Any opinions welcome...
Other tank mates I currently have but are not in the tank yet are kuhli loaches, corydoras and shrimp. I would not worry about the shrimp being eaten....They somehow always survive as long as there are plants and hiding spaces....Plus they are organic food for my fishes if they can manage catch them
The tank is 700l but can hold 900l if I fill it up. It's low tech, round tropical pond, lol
Thank you for your time.
