Hey guys! I'm setting up a 30 gallon tank (yay, i'm finally out of nano-world!), and i was wondering if clown loaches could live in one. The other fishes i was thinking of were giant danios and pictus catfish. If you have any input on those species, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

10 gallon saltwater
1 snail

5 gallon freshwater
2 peppered cory cats
1 platy
1 zebra danio

2.5 gallon freshwater
2 guppies
1 khuli loach

10 gallon saltwater
2 blue-legged hermit crabs
1 snail

2.5 gallon
2 khuli loach
1 albino longfin zebra danio

Love those bottom feeders!

Clown loaches can grow to 16" in length. I would only put two in that size of tank and even that is a little small.

Sorry to tell you that pretty much all those fish need a larger a tank. The giant danios don;t get real big but they need lots of swimming room. Clown loaches a foot long in a 30 is not very realistic either. Pictus cats also get rather large, but you could probly get away with one of them in a 30.
