In Response To: Loaches in cichlid Tank????????????? (Matt)

In my opinion, Matt, I think keeping clown loaches with Africans are a bad choice. I know Tankbert keeps his clowns with Convicts, (still find it amazing they get along), but I'd think that water conditions are similar. But the Africans like such hard, alkaline water that I'd think the clowns would suffer in that environment over a long period of time. Plus, I'd also think the Africans are too tempermental. Anyone else?
