Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Hey! On friday i will get my 550L/145USG tank. I want to know how many Clown loaches do you think will be the best to have in this tank? I have 4 clown loaches at the moment but want to increase it with at least 2 more loaches. In this tank there will be also 4 Bala sharks but no more fish will be added in this tank,I will have only clowns and Balas. Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

That is if they all survive and live to an old age. Go for four if they are 1ins, if 2-3ins three, 4ins two. Make sure they have plenty of seperate caves and feed at least 2-3 times a week with frozen blood worms. They also love green lettuce mine will devour one full leaf under 30 minutes. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

In my tanks, i like to take a large piece of shale rock and place it over the gravel and hollow some of the gravel from the bottom. I also put java ferns on top of the shale to put some green in. Currently i have driftwood thoguh. Looks very nice.
