Ok I have decided on a 20 gallon long for my son's first tank. He loves the Zebra Danios so I will be getting probably 6-8 of those (more if I can but I'm still figuring out the stocking plan.)

My questions is I really like loaches, I was wondering other then Khuli Loaches what other loach would be ok for that tank? Maybe Yo-Yo loach? I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks,
Curtis
 
Yo-Yos would be my choice, I think.

We like our clown loaches, the dont miss a drop of food, keep the bottom of the tank spotless.
 
Your tanks are also attrociously stocked, to say the least... And that's putting it nicely.
 
He's been informed of that several times in the cichlid forum Hr, fortunately I know Reign won't listen to that suggestion.

Just for everyone to know however, clown loaches can get in the 12-14" range in aquariums, I've seen some wild caught ones pushing 18-20" as well.
 
Oh Tseng I know about the clown loaches. They are one of those planned fish for my big tank when I get it come tax time. I know they get too big for smaller tanks. Unfortunately clown and khulis are really the only ones I've looked in to so I was sort of feeling it out with this post to get a few ideas of others I could research and show my son as it's his tank.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll look into each of them and do some more research. Appreciate it.
