Very normal for loaches. Why must you peek when they are doing it? lol. XD

 

[Chromobotia]

Yes, very normal. It's a good sign...they are haapy in their environment.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen a loach that looked seriously DEAD, even seen them upside down, then tapped on the glass and they just flip over, give me a funny look, and then swim away. Normal behavior for these guys and they are called clowns for more than their coloring...

Very normal. A happy clown loach will lay down and take a nap.

Wow...I got them on friday...4 total. I notice 2 in particular in their laying like that all the time. I am surprised they are settling in so quick. I hear loaches can be peculiar and finicky.

I hadn't seen any of the 4 eat...but after work tonight I tried bloodworms for the first time and they started eating no problem.

Thank you all.
