At the Bottom, gilling rapidly.
I have 5 clown loaches and want to add a sixth, maybe a seventh. The current group has been a family unit since they were purchased at infancy by a friend. They got a big tank upgrade when I took them over a couple years ago and now I want to grow the school. How will this family react to a small new family member or two?
 
I would not expect any problems as far as aggression toward the new members of the group.
 
They're not aggressive and any new additions will be welcomed without issues. I added two to my existing group and one of them hid for a few hours before coming out and joining the feeding frenzy. The other one joined the group almost immediately along with the yoyos.
