	A beautiful "striped tank"
tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	I went in to pets mart and say a tank full of tigerbarbs or so i thought. I looked closer and there was clown loaches in there to. It was absolutly striking. There must of been fifty of each in a 10 gallon. I know they would never survive long term but that was just striking.

amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004	The barbs and loaches wouldn't shoal together. The barbs prefer the mid level, the clowns the bottom. To top off such a display tank, I'd suggest one/two max top level fish... deciding on them would be a problem though. Matching a complimentary coloured fish to the orange/black of the others whilst maintaining compatibility is a complex one.... Any ideas on suitable co-habitants for the tank?
