mr. Clown Loach

i have a 63 gallon tank and was wondering what else to add. i currently have 3 clown loaches, 1 blue gourami, 1 tiger barb, 1 firemouth, 2 silver dollars, and a bull dog pleco anything else that i could add because i was thinking a blue acara because the total in/g is 52g so any ideas

Amanda

Def. need to add more tger barbs, they are a schooling fish.
Also, are you planning on getting a larger tank for the loaches?

+1, more tiger barbs and maybe another silver dollar or two as well

mr. Clown Loach

my tiger barb just hangs with my loaches and my silver dollars are never even near each other usually

Amanda

But they are both schooling fish. If you add more, they will school together.

mr. Clown Loach

but i don't want more and i might move my tiger barb to my ten g and buy more tigers for there

Amanda

Well, looking at your tank, that's the best thing to do.
I'll bring it up again, are you planning on getting a larger tank for your loaches later on?

mr. Clown Loach

ya if i can convince my parents to let me get one after i save up

Amanda

That's good, they can reach over a foot long. So a large tank is needed.
Since they are larger fish, I would stick to what you have right now unless you wanted to add some smaller fish. The loaches are going to greatly effect your bio-load IMO.

mr. Clown Loach

whats IMO mean?? and the loaches are like 3-4in right now and i have and oversized filter

agabr123

in my opinion, IMO
