my tiger loaches make a "clacking" sound. i thought it was them slamming gravel off the glass or something but one day I watched them and they were making the noise in the middle of the tank away from the glass. they were having a bit of a squabble over something. why do they make these very loud noises?
 
I dont know, mine do it when they eat. Weird. Maybe defending the food? Oh by the way Downset21. Im originally from Sudbury and my grandmother lived in Quincy.
 
Clown loaches do it too. They do it at different times, when they fight, when they feed, etc.
 
Post pics of tiger loaches.

I thought loaches make that noise when they're happy. Can anyone confirm my statement? :)
