Rams and Clown Loaches? Compatible, or not? I've searched, but could not find anything regarding them together. This will be in a 20gal for now. If I can't do loaches, no problem, I'll figure something out.
I don't think they will work especially since both occupy the bottom portion of the tank and the loaches get way to big for a 20g(considering you need at least 3 of them). The rams won't like sharing their space in that small of the tank. JMO
My rams and clowns get along fine....the rams aren't soley bottom dwellers. Mine like hiding amongst the plants about mid-tank rather than on the bottom. It does depend on the size of your tank and IMO I wouldn't put clowns in a 20g as you do need a small group of them to be happy. Your plan of just getting the rams and then some tetras will be the better idea :thm:
