when i saw the other pair do it they wouldn't run away. they would tail eachother and try and mimic what the other one was doing. kinda like they were swimming in formation. when they would circle the other one would circle. ect.ect..
the loaches are playing alot lately. i think they are adapting to the new lighting and light time schedule. also they remember the salad shrimp....lol i feed them the salad shrimp around 6pm and lately they have been making sure that i see them.
sad days are ahead. the 7yr old pleco is getting a new home soon. its a sad day but he keeps cutting himself bc he has no room. so now he is going in a 135 gallon.
i noticed today that all of the smaller loaches were chowing on the cucumber. lately they have been dodging me and only come out late at night and usually im beat by 1am. this tank couldn't be happier. all of the fish are swimming around and playing in the current.
i recently discovered a tasty loach treat running for its life. i found a snail that came along with some of the plants. luckily i caught him, put him in the separator and gave the snail some flake food in hopes that there will be 300 snails by a few weeks.
sometimes the loaches sit on top of the plecos head. its so funny looking!
here is a video of my cherry barbs swimming against the current
