Well first thing how big in the tank
A minamim size would be a 4x2x2 for 2 oscars they get to 30cm's each
How big is the Loach a small 1 with just be a snack to them and clown loachers like to school
So 3 large ones would be better around 10cm's+
 You could get some plecoes  comman ones or any kind realy that grow over 20cms somthing armor plated would be good lol

well good luck

yeah its a custom made tank which i got 2nd hand  4 ft long wider than normal 4 ft tanks and same height .  the clown loach i have in there at moment is about 10cm  but i cant get no more at this size the only ones i can get are small which would be a snack for the oscars. i will have to ask my local pet store what they can get and how much as when they get fish in larger size they are pricey ,  thanks for your reply anyway i guess i will look around
