Troy_Mclure  Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003   | I am definitely going to stock either zipper loaches or YoYo loaches. Can you think of any other fishes to go with them? I'll keep 4 - 5 to te loach schooll. |

If you want to go with an asian theme you can have a large school of a certain type of rasbora, or two smaller schools of dwarf rasbora and a gourami. It really depends. They'll use a lot of the bottom, so maybe not corys... Last edited by NowherMan6 at 17-Nov-2005 16:27 |

ACIDRAIN    Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002  | If there is a chance you might be breeding any fish you put with them, I would stay with either mouth brooders, or live bearers. As the loaches will eat any eggs any fish lays on the bottom. If they don't get the eggs, they will get the fry. Now for suggestions, I think rainbows would go great. They will fill the mid and upper la There is always a bigger fish... |

| Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003 | Good call on the rainbows. I may buy some of those.... Im just going to lookup a gourami profile now to see if I can put a gold gourami in there.... |

| Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003 | yeah I was considdering a schooll of tiger barbs but was worried if they would nip at the loaches. I saw striped barbs the other day and really wanted them but I just found out the ph requirements  bummer.ok, so far... 5 yoyo/zipper loaches 1 gold gourami *possibly a school of barbs or even rainbows* ....this is starting to look pretty well stocked but is it possible to squeese in a few SAEs? |

| Babelfish Administrator Small Fry with Ketchup Posts: 6833 Kudos: 8324 Votes: 1570 Registered: 17-Apr-2003 | Not all barbs are nippers though. From what I've heard TB's kept in a big enough school shouldnt bother others as much. Banded barbs have similar patterns and supposedly don't nip. Gold barbs are smallish, brilliant orange ( ) and active. Rosy barbs get on the largish side, also active and colorful.^_^ Baby join me in death"~ |

| Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003 | very true babelfish. 'Large enough schooll" is the phrase in your comment that might not apply to my tank. Im not sure how many I can fill in the schooll. |

divertran Fish Addict Posts: 784 Kudos: 469 Votes: 165 Registered: 14-Nov-2004 | With my yo-yos in my 29 gallon are a school of seven harlequin rasboras, a pair of blue dwarf gouramis, a dwarf pleco (l186b rubbernose) and the remnant of my molly days. All get along well, and no one ever nipped a fin.  |

| Troy_Mclure Fish Addict Posts: 725 Kudos: 306 Registered: 20-Jan-2003 | yes I am confident that the yoyos will be fine enough. I was concerned about tiger barbs. |
