Thanks for that....

Nice summary, although I miss some vital information.

Any loaches (B. histrionica, lochahata, etc.) need alots of free swimming space. You could count with two grown ups per 120-140 litre.
Feed them primarily with snails and give sinking wafers as supplementary food. In addition well washed Tubifex, Enchytraeus albinus and bloodworms could be added to their diet.
