I have 1 syno eurutes in a 75gal.Do these do better in groups?Also I wanted to add some petracola.Will they get along with the eurutes?How many petracolas should I get?My tank is going thru some changes and will end up with some frontosa and clown loaches.Thanks

S. euperus does fine on its own.

I think you may need to choose between a Lake Tanganyika (with a pH of about 7.8-8.2) and a riverine tank (with a pH of about 6.6-7.0). Although you could at a pinch keep all these fish together at a pH of about 7.5, none of them would be very happy. Since you already have the eupterus, may be a good idea to stick to riverine fish and keep your tank at a neutral pH.

Finally, if you really must get the C. frontosa, you need to be aware that this fish will require a 180 gallon tank in a few years.

I allready have 1 frontosa,1 euperus and 3 clown loaches.I have other fish in the tank but they will be gone by this weekend.I am aware of the size fronts get.Mine is only 2 inches.Eventually I will upgrade the tank.The ph is at 8.2

should I return the euperus along with the other fish and just stick to the petracolas?

Yes, I'd suggest choosing the lake or the river instead of trying to do both.

Thanks dinyar
