I dont know if others have obsereved this , but these fish seem to prefer to hang upside down , under caves or wood etc, of the ten i have more prefer this position , than say being the right way up , on the substrate ! ?

Yup! Mine are upside down on the wood very much most of the time.

That's interesting about the fish hanging upside down. My "albino ancistrus" (not quite sure that's what it is) does the same thing. He spends a lot of his time upside down on a piece of wood that I've got suctioned to the side of the tank, but sometimes switches to the ceiling of a coconut cave.
(I know, he is not a loach, but I felt it was worth mentioning as a comparison to loach behavior.)

Just thought about this, i guess its safer , to be hidden from possible predators, than being on view from above !
