| i am sorry but they do need a bigger tank and also prefer a larger group afink 5 or more the reason they need a bigger tank is that they reach about 12" in length take a look at this site | |

| Now that IS a big fish. It shows how important it is to research what fish you get before you buy them - some lfs are happy to sell any fish they can regardless of whether people know what size they grow to. | |

| Yes, indeed Marge is a legend on Loaches Online as I recently found out. If she ever croaked, she'd make a decent Sunday Lunch...  | |

| Wouldn't she just! She'd feed a small town  Wonder how old she is - remember that thread on fish longevity? if she's just a juve then she's going to be a monster! | |
