I feel stupid even asking this....but can clown loaches breed in a tank? I have a 125 gal tank with tropicals, clown loaches, mickey mouse, dalmations and various cichlids. This morning we (hubby and 2 sons) were watching the fish and we saw a tiny baby swimming at the top, was able to catch it in a cup before dalmations ate it. We are all excited our 1st baby that we noticed in the 4 years of having tank. 20 mins later I see another one and get that one also, then 1 more after..so 3 babies in all. So small they almost look like tiny tadpoles and can almost see through them. I spent a long time looking for possible mother and the only one I can think of is my clown loach. We have 2, they have been together for 4 years and spend alot of their time in our castle hiding. Anyway the larger fatter loach had something hanging out of it that I can only say looked like a small red sack. Hubby agreed with me that she was the mom, then I looked on line and found out that clown loaches do not breed in aquariums? Any advice or words of wisdom. I will post pics this afternoon of babies and "mom" if she comes back out of castle. Sorry sooo long.
