i have 6 tiger barbs right now,i would like to get more eventually,but when i do should i make sure i get them about the same size as the ones i already have?the reason i ask is because the ones i was looking at today were alot bigger.i also was checking out some zebra loaches,does anybody know much about them? and clown loaches i really like alot, but i was also told there more fragile than all the other loaches though?

sorry for all the questions

Clown Loaches get huge(larger than 12 inches), zebra loaches are much smaller about 4-5 inches, they are also known as stripped loaches and thin lline loaches. Their scientific name is Botia striata. I have 6 in a tank with endlers and a bristlenose. They are real busy bodys, they are so nosey but as is characteristic of most Botia don't harm any of their tank mates.

yes get barbs of the same size! to avoid fighting to the point of death!
