TheDane Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Aug-2004	I am seting up a tank at 180 gallons to clown loadses how many can I keep in it. I will only have clown loadses in it. Is 20 loadses to many?. Maby I will put a shool of corydoras and a few ansistrus catfish in the tank. Is this a good idea?

I think twenty would be too many clown loaches, especially if you want other fish. Maybe go with 12 or so, though I'm sure someone will come along behind me and give you a better answer. I know for the cories, that you could have at least two large schools of 15-20 fish, each school being a different species of corydoras.

Then in successive posts you stated that other fish would be in the tank also. If you decide on the Clowns only, at least 30 small to medium Clowns will do fine since they're real slow growers. That tank size would hold even more. --garyroland.

Don't worry if they seem small now, they'll grow out of it. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
