This has been one of my favorite threads here at LOL. It's been nice to see how this loach tank has evolved over the years. Having a clown loach only tank is a very practical idea and I'm glad to see you do this. The clowns will have many benefits this way and I think they will live happier, healthier, and longer lives. Mostly you won't have to worry about the diseases that new fish may bring. Just keep the water parameters in check and they should be fine for many years to come. Bravo.

A short video made yesterday. They looked like fans starring at a TV camera. Where I went they followed me:

I love the second to last one, with them all peeking out. Wonderful pictures as always.

Re: My clown loaches
Thanks guys!
I had a recent loss on this tank. My #4 in size, about 6" long and 5 years old...
She got Pop-eyed and also some trouble on the gills from one day to the other. She got a very fast breathing but could not catch oxigen from the water. It seamed like she was drowning. A took some pictures of her last day:
Pop-eye:
Struggling to survive:
Spines:

Rest in peace!

Re: My clown loaches
Sorry to hear about your clown. The pictures look great. Like Starsplitter, I especially like the next to the last photo of the clowns "peeking".
