I would like to try two or three Clown Loaches in my 75 gal planted tank. I
think they are really neat fish and they should eliminate my snail problem.

I do seem to remember hearing that they are very hard on plants however.
Is this true? If so, then maybe I don't want them after all.

Any input from anybody who has had Clown Loaches in a planted tank would
be greatly appreciated.

75 gal tank. Canister filter. Pressurized CO2 injection. Tank is heavily
planted. Light: about 2 watts/gal.


No problems with my loaches digging up plants at all. For those that have
had issues, the fish were probably looking/burrowing for somewhere to hide.
Give them some rocks/a cave to hid in/under & they'll be happy & won't dig
