Suggestions for a FW setup?

[trilinearmipmap]

I have always wanted a dedicated clown loach tank, they are IMO about the nicest FW fish. I got rid of the clown loaches in my plant tank because they eat snails, and snails IMO are essential for a plant tank.

Anyway one of the nicer FW tanks I ever remember seeing was about 15 years ago in a restaurant, there were three things: a school of clown loaches, a school of silver dollars, and high current. The clown loaches love to play in the current and appreciate the high oxygen content.

I suggest some streams or seios to set up a good current, a large driftwood piece, and maybe some Java Fern on the driftwood. I would go for as big a tank as possible, full-grown clown loaches probably want the same size tank as a full-grown Tang would.
