Loaches Online Forum

aww thats really sad, i hope your fish will get through this. Even lifting the ornament and gently trying to remove the fish won't help?

if it does dies, i hope it woun't have to suffer much

aww thats cute i have a barrel in my fishtank and one of my clowns always sleeps there in the nighttime. My other 2 clowns prefer to sleep together inside a shell. And whenever i turn on the light in the fishtank all 3 of them quickly go inside the barrel and hide there until the light goes off lol

Those are lovely fish u got. although i did have the same thought as chefkeith in that those bigger fish might try to attack or eat the clowns.

Or are your clown loach happy and mix well with those bigger fish?

i'm sorry that your loaches are dying, its really sad when that happens.

i hope the rest will get better and survive this

hemi have you seen yours appear to yawn and belch? that is quite amusing sometimes. once you get into loaches you seem to stop being normal and start being interested in al sorts of wierd things. dont some loaches have less barbels? my 3 clown loaches yawn quite often and its funny watching them do...

That makes me sick, just shows how low people will scoop for money


thankfully the aquariam shop near where i live is totally against this sort of thing

when i was new to this board, this angelfish person was once arrogant to me as well for not being aware that clown loach grow big very quickly.

He/She needs to get off his/her high horse and stop being so ignorant.

it says on that website that clown loach get on well with barbs but from my experience, i'm not sure if i agree. my clowns can be bullies and (especially in the daytime) they chase after my tinfoil barbs and prick them with their barbels. i have to sometimes firmly tap the fishtank glass so they sto...

damn he is huge! i was a lil scared at first when i saw those pictures but he is a nice fish.

how comes its colours are so pale?

i think thats nice of your family to surprise u like that


i know i would be pleasantly surprised if i was given some clown loaches for xmas

Nice pictures. aren't clownies cute??

those are awesome pictures. when i first got my clown loaches, the two bigger ones fought exactly like that too and the other one kept out of the way. At first i thought the 2 that were fighting were male and they were fighting over the female one (the one that wasn't getting involved). I do find it...

well i had my 3 clowns for over a year now and they have grown since i got them but not really massively big so i was just talking from my own experience. maybe each clown loach varies on how big they can grow No. You just give bad advice, and I, and everyone else, would appreciate it if you accept...

Tiny, please read the linked profile above. With respect, you are talking complete rubbish. http://www.2cah.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10048/normal_DSCN0764.JPG Martin. well i had my 3 clowns for over a year now and they have grown since i got them but not really massively big so i was just tal...

your fishtank definitely looks big enough for at least 2 more clown loaches. Clown loach need fellow companions and they don't grow that big anyway. Nowhere near as big as tinfoil barbs do
