I personally would just find one species that I really like, and then get as many of them as possible in that tank. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

The only real eye-catching thing would be the clowns. If you want a "loach-only" tank...you could see about getting a "Night Light" for them...only because most loaches are nocturnal, and that would give you an oppertunity to observe them.[/font] --- Born in radioactive waters, the Mutant Goldfish swims...

Or a group of Botia Angelicus..by themselves. Striatas are really good with plants and very peaceful to other fish..if you want anything BESIDES the loaches. Check out www.loaches.com for better info on mixing loaches in a tank.. Another thought..if I was gonna do a LOACH only tank..would be a river tank with some Hillstreams..
