My clown loaches white spot has nearly cleared up only a couple ov spots now! i know my tank is not big enough for when they get bigger which will be a couple ov years, do you think i should get another one to go with it so it has a friend? I will upgrade my tank to a bigger one but it wont be for 12 months or so and it is only and inch and half long x

you are already stunting it and not realising it.

Put it this way I had a red tailed shark in a 20g for 1 month, I put it in my 125g as soon as it was cycled and he grew about 2 inches in the space of a month.

your clown loach would be happier with friends (really 4+ is better ) but in the space provided they will end up cramped and stressed which could cause ICH again!

Have a look on gumtree, some people are giving away fish tanks or at least selling them for cheap.

Ok thanks for the advice, i will have a look and if no look i will take it back to the shop and change it, just glad i have treated it and its cleared up nicely, quite proud of myself with it being my 1st poorly fish in my new tank lol x
