i'm resetting up my tanks, and am looking at many options for my 150, and was wondering if anybody has mixed clown loaches with red tail black sharks? i already have 2 RTBS in the tank and was looking at adding about 6 clowns. any info helps.

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

I have never personally kept the two together, but I believe there are several on this site that do so. If I remember correctly Keith has them together in his larger tank so you'll probably be fine doing so.

I think in that sized tank you should be fine. I keep an RTBS with kuhliis, cories, and a BN without problems.

Yes I did until I died when I had all the water problems. As a matter of fact I had 4 RTBS in with CLs
There was a large old RTBS and became very bossy yet he shared the same cave as the CLs.

The clowns must have plenty of hiding places. The RTBS will take over what ever part of the tank he want to.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

I think that mixing RTBS & CL's would be fine & you've got a big tank, where you can house them.

Which other fish are you having with them?.
