I want to add a weather loach to a tropical tank but iv heard different things, iv heard I can so long as the tank water is good and has lots of oxygen but then iv heard I can't

Who should I believe?

My tank is 189L, 2 air stones, 4 power heads that put oxygen in the tank and a filter with a spray bar and there are loads and loads of little bubbles flying around the tank - as you can see that's a lot of oxygen.

At the moment he/she is in my mums 30L tank and is almost fully grown.
 
I'm not too familiar with loaches but I would think a larger tank is better for a fish that can get up to 10" than a much much smaller one. What other fish are in the tank?
 
The 189L is in the middle of a fishles cycle, the tank he is in now is shared with 3 fancy goldfish, I know my mums tank is very over stoked that's why I want to get him out as soon as possible
 
I don't see a problem with this since weather loaches can be kept with other tropical species.
 
Okay I'll keep an eye on him, he's been in a tropical tank before and was fine.
Thank you
