Clown Loaches and Guppy Fry
By squack15 from the squack15 department, Section Diaries Posted on Wed Aug 29, 2007 at 01:51:04 PM PST Tags: (all tags)

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with Clown Loaches and guppy fry. I have a couple of loaches that are my babies. They're about 5 and 6 inches long and I was wondering if I put them in an aquarium in which I had adult and fry guppies, would the loaches eat the fry? There is a ton of aquatic plant cover on top so I know the fry will have a bit of cover to hide in. What do ya'll think? Thanks, Scott D

I have 2 kuhli loaches and they don't seem to bother my fry or any fish for that matter.

I have 2 clowns and no problem with fry, snails don't have a chance.

my question is, my loaches are quite large and I was wondering if that would affect their predation on little fish

Mine are pretty fat and they are as big as my algae eater but they don't seem to bother anyone. They only come out once the light is off and that's only to find the wafers I throw in there at night. In fact, most days I barely see them.
