WAT! really? ure CLs make noise! thats crazy...how big r ure Cls?

The clowns will make clicking noises while feeding. I have also heard Modestas and Yoyo's do this.
 
I have a 9 inch clown who only clicks when another fish swims into his cave....and I have some skunk loaches who click when they chase easch other around. But the only real clicking I hear during feeding is taping against the glass...
 
My clowns started clicking at 1.5". They now do it every time when they recieve an algae wafer, peice of zuchini/cucumber, lettuce and bloodworm cube. Every now and then, they will have a beautiful territorial dispute where they have thier fins fully erect, black bars turn purple and they twitch, turn and click at eachother. Very cool.
 
Mine have clicked since about 2 weeks after I got them. They are LOUD! They only do it when they're eating though.
 
Interesting. I've never had a loach click but I used to have a group of bala sharks that would click like mad when I gave them zucchini and when they grazed on algae together. Are loaches louder?

I have never heard a bala click, but when my group of 30+ loaches started clicking the first time, I thought the tank was cracking. lol
