Starting to worry about my loaches.

[Blaz1n1t]

So in the past few weeks I have begin to noticed that my clown loaches lay on the floor sideways like they are dead, As soon as I walk up to the tank they flip back over and swim away like nothing happened, now I've noticed this behavior from 5 separate loaches and DO NOT no what to think . Ive even seen them laying side by side belly to belly. Any info on this would be great.
Also they usually do it underneath this piece of DW but not always.

They're just doing what clowns do... Clown stuff.

Normal behavior, ive even seen them lay upside down

That's normal. They like to sleep sideways. I got worried too when I saw them do it the first time.

Mine do that too, but I have noticed them doing it more lately.

It's a good thing. It means they are happy in their home.

+1 mine only do it when they're settled ib their tank. When I move tanks they stop doing it for a while.

Clown Loach love to sleep in comfortable positions, they also like 'playing dead' and it is normal to see it. Sometimes the way they rest can be amusing.
