Clown loach substrate #1
Hi everyone,
I'm new here.
I'm setting up a 75g tank and I'm a long way from adding fish right now. I was wondering if clown loaches or yoyo loaches are compatible with my substrate, Flourite?
If not, any suggestions for a fun, tropical, schooling fish would be nice for my tank, which will be planted.

Re: Clown loach substrate #2
Fluorite should be OK for loaches, but I would get yoyos rather than clowns. Clowns really need a bigger tank in the long term because they grow quite a lot larger than yoyos. Minimum for clowns is 6ft x 2ft x 2ft (approx. 170 gallons).
