Hey guys down graded to 55 gallon and was wondering how many loaches would be appropriate with the stock I already have

Hey guys down graded to 55 gallon and was wondering how many loaches would be appropriate with the stock I already have

Go with about 10-15 and feed them well.

Hey guys I am getting a 55 and my stock is:

1 rainbow shark, kuhli loaches ( could use some help with how many), and 2 flame dwarf gouramis, 10 tiger barbs, a bristlenose pleco, and some polka dot loaches ( help with how many).

Is this stock ok any tweaks or ideas of how many loaches.

Thanks ahead of time guys

I can do 10 to 15 loaches with the stock I already have???

If the tiger barbs are super important to you then you should just get 10 and provide LOTS of hiding places for the other fish in the tank. Tiger barbs are major fin nippers.

 

[Fishninja]

Ok I will

Any ideas for the loaches

Kuhli loaches

 

[Fishninja]

Just got a 50 gallon and stand

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I would ditch the tiger barbs, ready, tiger barbs= no angels, no gouramis, no betas, no fish like that as the tigers will nip them to death
I would get 12 kuhli loaches

 

[Fishninja]

12 kuhlis it is

Cleaning sand

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Looks like a nice sand! I think you need to rinse it a bit more

 

[Fishninja]

Lol I agree


Here is some I already rinsed

 

[Fishninja]

I already washed this stuff

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, but it looks very cloudy in the water, I rinsed 40 pounds of black sand, 10 pounds at a time, and I rinsed 10 pounds with 20 rinses, so I rinsed 40 pounds 80 times

 

[Fishninja]

Wow I am using pool filter sand

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, not sure how different it is, but it needs to look almost clear, otherwise you will have a cloudy tank, of course it will settle, but it will look nicer
