well about a week ago I was cleaning my 50 gal and could not find one of my clown loaches! Mooved all the furniture in the tank, looked in EVERY nook & cranny, NOTHING! Today I followed up on a tip about the filter, and wuddayaknow...

Those guys can get into the oddest places

They love to hide. Look where you think they can't get.

Clown loaches rule, I realized about 2 weeks ago that they can hollow or tunnel into driftwood and make a home. Mine all pile into the hole in the wood when the lights go out.

I have 9, and they disappear at night, all hudlling in hiding places. They like to sleep with some cover. My Platys do the same.
