Sand stuck to loaches body?
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2022 7:01 pm
Hey everyone, I'm just wondering if it's normal for my sand substrate to sometimes be stuck to my dojo loaches back or side?
I cannot find anything online about it.
It doesn't happen all the time but I recently got my hand in there and tried to brush it off. Came off easy. I've seen a patch of sand stuck in the same spot for 2 days before and then disappear. Like I said it comes and goes.
The dojos are healthy and happy, all normal behavior.
I'm wondering if it's the brand of substrate?
It's petcos imagitarium aquatic sand.
I have another tank with Carib sea super naturals aquatic sand and don't have this issue with my other loaches.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!! Thank you
