2" Clown Loachs and 8" Oscar

[BichirAddict]

I bought 2 2" CL and thought they have those switch blades they will be fine. WRONG I let them out of the bag to find 3 seconds later the oscar had already taken one. Then about and hour later the other one. The oscar will be moving into my other 55 for the time being in the next week and will then be getting 2 more clowns for the current 55. I just spend $20 on food for and hour.

Your Oscar eats better than you. Clown loach sushi! Sorry to hear that. Grow them out next time but then again there is no gaurantee that your Oscar won't go after it.

That's why I always say loaches should not be mixed with arowanas, flowerhorns, oscars, etc. I hope you learned your lesson. Sub-ocullar spines, despite acting as defense mechanism, will also harm your prized monsters.

Thanks Lupin and have found out that oscars have a taste for clown loach sushi.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! LOL Sorry man, I hate to see a loach go down, especially if it's down the hatch. You're lucky they didn't kill your fish.

Usually loaches are fine with oscars. Obviously not this... sad case. Its gonna hurt to poop them out.
