	Zebra Loaches
Shizzy Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 25 Votes: 0 Registered: 24-Oct-2005	I recently got 4 zebra loaches for my 55 gallon tank. I didnt know a lot about em but I took the risk and got em. After seeing there profiles I am worried they will get too big. Profiles says max size 8.2" Does anyone have any experiences or photos? I havent heard a lot lot about em on this site. Thanks. -Ryan

There is a picture and you can even double check to make sure it is the right loach. This is the probably the zebra loach you have and they stay much smaller and are super peaceful. HTH Jen

Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	Zebra's are super cool little fish. I want to say that they get to be about 3 or 4 inches. Right now we have some fat ones at work that someone droped off.... They are about 4 inches long. I am sure you will like them. What lese do you have in the tank?? 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

I also have 6 platies and 9 zebra danios. I am not sure what to add next, I was thinking some head and tailight tetras and some cherry barbs. I'm not quite sure, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. -Ryan
