Will small Clown loaches get on with larger tankmates? I have one large CL and am wary about buying new ones as they start off so small. Would they get on okay?

Yes, they will be fine.

I have a 9" clown loach with a 1" clwon loach, and they are fine togerther... although the big clown doesnt really act like it exists.

Both the small & big Clown Loaches will be fine together.

No problem at all I have large and small in my 5ft tank. Make sure they have their own cave/spaces to hide.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Should be fine, but the bigger fellow might want to ignore the smaller ones, like its ignoring its younger sibling while having all the fun

In my experience

The babies grow much faster

Got a 6" cl - added two babies - in two months they were the same size as the large one

All get on fine
