Do they burrow into gravel at night? because mine were no were to be found last night and then came out of no where this morning:confused:
 
Haha, loaches are the best at hiding. They normally don't burrow, but I have seen it happen. Usually they will hide under deco.
 
yeah they are roflraiders loaches but i have them in my 65 and he was like "omg ur oscar killed them and started a feeding frenzy..." he was whining all night lol then they reappeared this morning and was like looks like i dont have to kill youre oscar now lol... the little guys have lots of personality.. of all thing we bought them some small naural gravel for them today too for more places to hide...
hey thanks for the info
 
I could never find mine at night, until one night, when I found their spot. I cannot possibly describe where they sleep, words cannot convey how strange it is. I hope I can find the camera though...
 
im lookin for mine right now and cant find them grrrr it bothers me
 
My biggest one (4.5") can fit into a place where I have yet to find. At night when the tank light s are off, use a spotlight and search for where they are accumilating. I find it fun to see all thier bars are a light purple colour.
 
yeh at night they are good at hiding. normally under caves and decor. try putting abit of food in the tank.
 
My 2 loaches find the weirdest places to hide. Use a flashlight and u might find where they hide. the larger one thats about 4in somehow curls up in this rock hole that it shouldn't fit in but amazingly does. The only way I could ever find it is with the help of my flashlight.
