haha ya it is ok. went a kind of different way with my approach. picked up two clown loaches today from petsmart which are about 1 1/2" long and going to be ordering my snakeheads in a few days which will be about 2 1/2" long so hopefully it will work out. there are lots of hiding places and plenty of fake plants so I'm hoping they will live together as long as the clown loaches somewhat keep up in growing.
