Loaches Online Forum

It is just natural heirachy behaviour. These battles can often last a long time but usually settle out with only the occasional battle. Adding more Loaches if your stocking room allows should help the matter as any aggression and dominance is spread out.

If you want them low why not mount the Koralia so they are aimed up toward the surface somewhat. You will still get the flow and current but will also get good surface agitation and gaseous exchange. Failing that keeping them above the mid line of the tank should suffice. As regards the SAE. If they...
