concerned about their long term well-being. Is a 55 gal not large enough,

a needless concern for now?

It depends on how crowded the tank is, I guess. My clown loaches vary in
size from 3 to 7", even though they all started the same size.


they do grow quite slow, I'd keep up the water changes
not the most active fish really and as long as conditions are right they
seem happy in less than massive tanks
6 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot is the size my clowns do best in
touch wood but never had a prob with them
They get big in borneo though, like a foot or so long
kinda ugly at that size but VERY tasty oily flesh
quite different to most freshwater fish flesh
they are a fan of tight squeezes tho, so yea tank size isn't as important as
water quality
