Default yet more lighting questions

I got all three of them in January. The biggest one, Caesar, is probably
about 7 cm long, and Pompey and Crassus are about 6cm long - they've each
grown about a centimetre in length in the time I've had them, but have
gotten a great deal fatter and "taller". They've always tended to be shy.
Pompey and Crassus play a lot together - possibly trying to work out who is
second in charge, while Caesar does the "lone loach in the mist" thing a
bit. I am keen to get some more little ones (can't afford big ones, plus I
like to watch my fish grow), but I'm a bit worried they might suffer as the
pecking order is re-assessed. How are loaches with accepting new (and
smaller) companions?

Sounds like you have a great tank for clown loaches. It might help to get

a
few more of them.

How big are they, and how long have you had them? My loaches took months

to
come out when I moved them to a larger tank. IME, the larger the loaches

are,
the shyer they are. The little ones are fearless, but the older they get,

the
more cautious they become.
