10 tank setup

[CatawbaIslander]

Hi all. Well my husband and I have OFFICALLY caught the bug. We have not posted in a while because going crazy remodling one of our rooms, The Aquarium Room. It will have 2-45g tanks 3-29g tanks and 5-10 g tanks in all. We are taking pics of the progress so once it is finnished PICS WILL BE COMING SOON!!!!!

Anyway, One of these tanks (29g)I would like to put loaches in because I just love my clowns. I am going to set it up with sand substrate and a sponge filter. Any suggestions on which type of loaches i should get?

Not clowns. I would recommend you stick with the smaller loaches. Dwarf (Sidthimunki) loach, kuhli or zebra loaches.

Congrats on the new tanks. Looking forward to pics.

:iagree: clown loaches get far too large and would wind up stunted.

I like sids or kuhlis but there are other less available loaches that might work too. Schistura savona stay small, are quite active & not aggressive like most schistura. Or maybe try a river tank & a few hillstream loaches.

Sids are small but very active. I would say 20 gallon minimum for them, maybe 15.

Hillstreams would work if you give them enough flow.

She has 10 tanks including 10g's but is asking about a 29g. I was confused at first too.

Oh, I didn't see that.

Sids would do well in the larger tanks as would kuhlis...

What about Queen Loaches. are they too large for a 29g?? if not how many should i get?
