Clown loaches with Synodontis euptera

[Tim Wheatley]

Right now my clown loaches are crammed into a decoration WITH my Syn Catfish. They have lots of other spots they could be using, but aren't suddenly.

The Syn cat used to share a tank with the Oscar and seemed territorial as he would nip the Oscar occasionally but only near his spot.

The Clowns have never used this spot before, any idea why they might be suddenly so friendly with the Syn? Can this work or am I going to start to have big problems? I can move the Syn.

Anybody with experience of these fish together?

Thanks,

Tim

Found this. I guess it's not that unusual for these species to be OK...

my clowns are going thru a stage where they wedge themselfs in with my upsidw down cory cat and 3 kulli loaches. the one clown is normaly last to get in but he is wedged in the top opening, is in there vertical with his tail straight up and half out of the decoration. they normaly hang out in a large stump or another large rock formation
