A rather large Clown loach by my standards !!

Post by SPARKYTHEWELDER » Sun Mar 08, 2009 3:29 am

The other day I was tending to a friend in need and we ran some errands for him and one was to his doctors office for a check up. In the Doc's office there is a large aquarium. The special thing about this tank was the 8 inch Clown loach in this tank with serveral african cichlids and three pleco's

This fine specimen was almost 8 inches long and was beautiful but a bit shy.
I asked the recptionist if I could come back and take photos of the tank and the fish. She said yes that would be fine and I will upload them on here for you guys to see if you like when I take them.

I will need some help in getting them on the forum here from some of you please as i am sure how to crop the pics for up loading ?

That will be because it is in with African cichlids, which is a terrible combination as their requirements are poles apart: http://www.loaches.com/articles/why-loa ... i-cichlids. That loach needs rescuing and housing in a proper environment with more of its own kind. :wink:
