loach group size

[dax29]

I've got 4 clown loaches, 3 yo yo loaches, 2 zebra loaches, and 2 angelicus loaches that are all 2 inches or less. They are in my 29 gallon tank. Do need more than 2 of the zebras and angelicus loaches for them to act naturally and be at peace. They seem to be so now, but I keep reading the "3 or more" statement when referring to how many are needed for them to feel comfortable.

Loaches are usually best kept in odd groups of 3-5. That said, your tank is way too small for even the clowns, which will need a 55 minimum. I would definately look into either bigger tanks or returning some.

The clowns need to go, unless you have a bigger tank prepared. They may become happier if you got another zebra and angelicus.

I'm getting a 75 gallon within a year.
