Man o' man, what I would put in a 10,000 gallon tank ;~). That's a whole
new thread! The inescapable facts, however presented, is that loaches
(and tetras) do better with the company of their own kind, and they are
fine in small tanks until they need to be upgraded as appropriate
(imnsho).

I completely understand and agree with your better presentation. Without the
entire history of my tank (pretty boring actually) it would seem that I am
just tossing fish around but that is not the case. Until I get that 10,000
gallon tank I'll have to make do with what I have.
