I recently saw an clown loach in a fish tank with sum mbuna's,is this possible,if so could they be kept with an bumble bee cichlid?what's size tank is recommended?
 
Most mbuna leave them alone being a different species but every fish is different. They reach sizes of 12" so a 75g to start would be minimum and they prefer to be in schools of 5 or more, so a six foot tank would be required at some point.
 
I have them in my 140 and my 240 cichlid tanks and they have never been bothered. I have 3 in each tank. (one of the tanks did have a bumblebee in it).
