are clown loaches better in pairs?

Clowns are very social and do best with buddies. That being said I have known them to buddy up with other types of fish. I had a trio of loaches 6 years ago and also had an ich outbreak. It killed every single fish in the tank excluding one loach.

I will say all of the baits are extremely soft, so thy will probably only be good for 2-3 fish each at most, but the price is better than Rage Tail. Googan Crackin Craws are 50c more a bag than rage craws. They resemble a lot of zoom baits. Their drag and drop worm looks like a BioSpawn ExoStick split in half.

In any case, clownfish don't school. In the wild I believe clownfish do stay in family groups for a while, not the same as schooling by any means, however as each fish matures they are forced out of the area by the dominant female and move on to form their own group or join a female somewhere else.

Ideally, you should introduce only one betta fish into one aquarium, because they can fight each-other. Usually male betta fish are more aggressive, while females tend to be peaceful. ... Keeping multiple guppies with one beta fish is the best way to go. This way the betta fish will not be able to focus on one guppy.

Two Angelfish should be fine together, even if they're not a pair, as long as the tank is big enough.

Nemo hatches as an undifferentiated hermaphrodite (as all clownfish are born) while his father transforms into a female now that his female mate is dead. Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with his father (who is now a female).

Bass, walleye, perch, crappie and sunfish all have the same basic skeleton and all fillet the same way. Obviously, the smaller the fish the less meat. But all have basically the same amount of bones.

So, they need to be kept in groups of at least five fish. This can be a problem. First, all clown loaches are fairly expensive, and second, they do grow quite large — eventually a group of five will require a 70-gallon tank or larger. ... Driftwood and rocks are a necessity in a clown loach tank.

Yep the more loaches the better! You can do a 10 gallon but its not worth it as you can't fit enough to have them be activate. Plus with a 20 gallon you can add more fish such as me.

Feeding. Clown knifefish are hearty eaters, and will take live foods such as feeder fish, ghost shrimp, and blackworms. With time, they can be adapted to foods such as beefheart and will sometimes learn to accept commercial food pellets. They are mostly nocturnal, thus prefer feeding when the lights are off.

And don't worry they don't get lonely you can have them together with another cockroach or even a millipede, they make great tankmates, I have a hissing cockroach and millipede together and they are like best buddies always sleeping together or eating together and just close it's pretty cute.

Yes, they will breed together. But they are not schooling fish. They will however live together in the same tank without anymore issues than keeping all of one or the other. All males may fight with each other.

Adaptation. The clownfish has made many adaptations in order to survive better in its habitat. First, this particular species has more rounded caudal fins than other anemonefish, making it a naturally slow, less effective swimmer. These fins, however, enable the fish to make quick darting movements.

They are not a great species to keep with any fish that has long fins, such as the long ventral 'feelers' on the gourami, or male guppies since the loaches are known for fin nipping. ... They are very territorial and often fight, they are like Betta fish in this respect.

Temperament / Behavior : This loach can be kept as a single but may do better and have increased activity levels if kept with multiple loaches. May be aggressive with much smaller fish, but should do fine with most fish with similar care requirements.

Anglers in Florida are more interested in Clown Knifefish for sport than for food, but it is edible and has a lot of commercial value in the countries its native to. People eat the flesh of this fish minced, rolled into balls, and cooked with curry.

Tanks Mates and Compatibility – As with many barbs, the Odessa can be a fin nipper and should not be kept with slow moving long finned tank mates. If kept in a shoal, this fin nipping will be kept to a minimum.
