Clown Loach breeding?

[ewurm]

yes, it is very difficult to do, I was given those links too. Mine were acting wierd, so I thought they might be breeding.

I wish bud. I have gone to some silly extremes trying to induce them to spawn. I have 6 clowns in a 600 gallon pond. All are 10" or better. I have done everything you listed and even plumbed in spray bars to simulate rain. No dice. I sincerely wish you luck with this!

you got any pics of those loaches, do not see many 10 inch ones.

when someone posts a link on the internet it HAS to be true! I am not saying that it has not happened but I don't believe it!!!

There is an post on loaches.com, search for breeding loaches, where a Martin Thoene posted an article from a cory forum about breeding difficult spawners. It outlines how to simulate the end of the dry season to the rainny season. I am moving 4 red tail loaches, modesta, into a 50 gal to try this. Was to do this a month ago but got busy, two of the females are carrying eggs so it has to be done soon.

If anybody has any luck triggering the spawing of loaches posting the sucess would help others.
