Clown loaches odd behavior? Video

[Chubbers]

Just curious if this is often seen with clown loaches or is aggression, etc. they lose their color and appear to be sparring. I know it is unlikely it would be mating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXq6OOpp31Q

aggression..

They just look like they are sparring a bit. If it bothers you then get a couple more so they aren't so fixated on each other.

No matter how many Loaches you have, they will go at each other from time to time. It's normal. When they're pissed they will grey up and become aggressive towards Loaches near them. Their color will return once they settle down. It usually doesn't last very long.

My opinion you need 3 or 4 more seem to do better in a school

I do plan on more. One died from ich and treatment even though I under dosed. I don't see many healthy ones in my area, these were Walmart fish and had to be nursed in QT.

I, unfortunately do not have any LFS that are worth a poo so I have to take what I get more or less. The two loaches that are seen sparring are healthy now. They had no color and ich at walmart and have even grown slightly (fattened up) since I got them. I got the oddball pattern so I am quite happy with the purchase.
