New CT fish in the community!

Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself and my tanks. I am very excited to have found a passion for fish and hope to advance into the aquascaping world someday. For now I have 2 tanks with fish (a 75 gal and a 46 gal) as well as one back up, but its a little 10gal. More details about my finned friends and their set up in my profile but here's a few pics for now

In the 75:
11 swordtails
1 common pleco (3yrs old and 12")
2 clown loaches (7-8" and getting 3 more when I move the swordtails)

In the 46:
4 mollies
1 synodontis cat
1 rainbow shark
4 dwarf puffers (10g backup tank if I need to move them)

Sounds good. Clown loaches are pretty cool. They seem really friendly

So far, based on my brief experience with them, they are really friendly. I had purchased one before knowing much about them and he (or she) snuggled up with my pleco. It was adorable, but after looking into them more realized they do best in groups. So I got one more a few days later and they actually danced around each other the entire afternoon. They are seemingly quite social, especially with one another and I plan on getting 3 more asap. From what I have read, they do best in groups of 5 or more so that's my goal

Awesome, great to hear it. They will be happy for more buddies
