glad you found it alive.... i lost one of my calvus i found him weeks later on the floor
I had 2 that went up in my filter. The basket fell off one night and i found them up there. There where in bad shape but there doing great.
They love to hide. Look where you think they can't get.

Clown loaches rule, I realized about 2 weeks ago that they can hollow or tunnel into driftwood and make a home. Mine all pile into the hole in the wood when the lights go out.

I have 9, and they disappear at night, all hudlling in hiding places. They like to sleep with some cover. My Platys do the same.

I remember years back I had a convict fry and apparently one got sucked into the filter. He was about 1 1/2" when we found him.
