What's the attraction about loaches

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My largest clown loach would swim off somewhere and stop then fall over on her side and just lay there for a while. It used to freak my husband out. If he saw it he would ask me if it died or would want me to check on them. Lol she would also swim upside down under the powerhead right underneath it. Very comical.

I am planning to get some more soon and I'll start growing them up too.

This. My favorite behaviors are the playing dead (quite convincing) and when they rest they tend to pick funny places to perch.
 
I have a pack of 7 bigger ones (5-8 inchers)...watching them move around the tank in the synchronized way that they do is absolutely captivating to me. The more the better with these guys..get a pack of them and you won't regret it.

thats cool, but SA is a large area and Idk what you have but there is a good chance they will never meet in the wild (species not overlapping)
