15 gallon loaches

[wildman117]

i had a couple of clown loaches in my 15 but moved them up to my 125 since they were outgrowing the tank and am wondering what loaches (if any) i can house in my 15 for their whole life an not be cruel by it either being to small of not being able to house enough of them
thanks

Kuhli loaches would probably be your best bet. They stay small and are fun to watch.

thanks

 

[wildman117]

what is the max number of them i could keep

As many will tell you, the minimum size of tank for even the smallest loaches (dwarf chains & kuhlis) is a 20.

 

[wildman117]

i was afraid of that and will probably just switch it out with my 20 for quarantine and make that one of my main tanks
then how many could i keep in their

For kuhlis, probably 6-7 would be a good number.

Look into Dwarf Botia - Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki.

6 kuhlis will do it.
