But there is instances where they have become murders and killed everything in the tank. The tiger barbs should be ok but every now and then one might be missing. The loaches should be ok but they do need a tank of atleast 125g and I think I've seen that this tank is 46g. The labs might be at risk for bloat if you feed the eel food high in protein.

Clown Loaches need a big tank & if you have one, go for it. Don't feed Mbuma's high protein food, as they might bloat. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
