It has a white spot in the center, like a small bubble of water is attached to it or something.

Clown with a swollen eye

I have a Clown loach with an eye that has some sort of bubble on it. I've tried taking a picture of it, but he moves too fast for my camera. :( It's not pop-eye, but there is definately something on his left eye. I'm sorry this is very little information... Is a swollen eye a common problem in ...

I will deal with that situation on my own. For right now, this thread (and the forum) is on the loaches.

It's the largest clown in a group of 8 in my 100G. I'm going to move them to a 130G in about a week. There is a castle, a log, and some PVC pipe for them to hide under.

Aggressive CL?

I have a clown (about 7") that is always causing trouble. At first I thought that it was just the other bigger loaches in a struggle for domincance, but I've seen him pick on the 4 inchers too. Any suggestions on how to lower aggression?

I run it at about 78F. It's a 100G acrylic. I don't test my water unless the fish look stressed or sick at all.
