I have had a clown loach in the past when I first started up my very first 30 gallon and he actually lasted a long time and now reading up on them knowing I know nothing at all!! But I have decided I might not be ready for one, I was wondering about Botia loaches... are they good/easy for someone just starting out?

Which species would you like to start? How big is the tank? They're very easy to keep except when they're riddled with internal parasites. Yoyos are easy to keep but too boisterous and too big at 5-6 inches. A 55g is usually the minimum for all species of the botiine genus due to plenty of space although a 40g will work for Botia dario, Botia histrionica, Botia striata and Botia rostrata. A 20-30g for Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki.

Breeze, cories are not loaches. They're catfish. Yes, a lot of Asian countries do use dojos as one of their food fish. I'm from one of the Asian countries but I don't eat dojos.lol
LOL, I know that, but for some reason I spaced it
. Only one cup of coffee today....I think they do in japan, I told my husband if I catch him near my my tank with chopsticks, it is over!
