clown loach

[steeledarren]

so i went into my lfs yesterday and got carried away, i have always liked clown loaches and have always wanted some, so i got the owner to order me 4, only afterwards i realised i might have made a mistake, i have a 55gallon cube, what do you think, if they get really big i will re home them, what do you think?

Clown loaches do like to be in groups, but four in a 55g will be a squeeze when they're grown. If you're willing to give them away when they're bigger, you'll be ok for a while. You could also just get another larger tank too.

Just go bigger when they get to be too big, there's a perfect excuse to whomever your signifigant other is, oh but they'll die if I don't get a bigger tank (insert sad puppy dog face) works everytime. Haha...but I'm serious..it does

They can grow pretty quick but id give you 6-8 months conservativly before they start knockin on the door

Your tank is definitely too small for the long run, but they are slow growers so you'll be fine for awhile.
