Clown Loaches need at least 150 gallons and groups. Otherwise, you should be good.

I know they grow very slowly, but I just want the OP to be aware they are going to need a much larger tank.

Any idea what the sex of the salvini is? Mine were attacking and taking chunks out of a larger female festae initially, then SHE had enough and killed 4 of them within 13 hours. Salvini have some pretty decent sized teeth.

You call those teeth! Even my wimpy chocolate's teeth can compete with those:

I dont know it is just starting to color up
Post a picture if you can, they're pretty easy to sex even at a young age.
Females besides the black blotch on dorsal fin is the presence of a black spot on the operculum.
Below is a picture when my pair was around 2-3" they are much larger now and both sporting the extremely red stomachs with blue spangles, female in the front and male in the back and you can cleary see all the commons traits when sexing salvini.
But look at the dorsal and anal fins. The male in the back has long flowing dorsal and anal fins, and the colors on the fins are much different. The blue spangling is much greater on the male than the female.
Yes sir it is, a good looking young lady!
