Stocking Q?

[Islandgirl82]

Hi,
My 29 gal currently has:

5 Platies
5 Serpae Tetras
6 Lemon Tetras

Would I be able to put in 3-5 Dwarf Loaches ( chain loaches) as well? I have a sand substrate, I know these guys would love.

Thanks!! 8)

don't really know how big dwarf loaches get but if they are 4" or less you should be just fine.... Someone who knows more about that fish will chime in though...

I would go with the 3 dwarf loaches. I assume these are Botia sidthimunki?

Yep, sidthimunki and I think they are around 3.5 to 4" max. Sounds like it's a go then? Quick one- I have some diatoms popping up in my 5 gal. Any experience with bettas and an otto?
