I feed my clown loach all live/frozen food. They eat aggressively and sometime splash water on my face.

Heres my routine: i turn on the light around 8 to 10 in the morning. All of them come out that time waiting for food. After about 12 most of them go inside the wood cave, only about 10-20 clown loaches wondering around the tank. When my temperature hit 86f all of them schooling together all day. Im ...

What temperature do you keep your clown loach? I been keeping them at 80-83F. I just increased to 86F and they seem very excited. Usually they come out in the morning for feeding. About noon time they all go inside the wood and i rarely see them then. Now my temperature at 86F and they went crazy. T...

yep. There are 4 tiger barbs, 2 yoyo loaches, and 15 rummies nose tetra.

They were very small when i bought them about 1 inch or less (about a thumb nail, very very small). The LFS told me they are tank raised and have a lot of odd pattern on them, so i believe them. I bought another batch at different LFS slightly bigger 1 to 2 inches, and their pattern are not odd, so ...
