My suggestion would be to add more clown loaches to spread out aggression between them. Another thing you could try is isolating the clowns for a bit and seeing if that "resets" the behavior--this works with aggressive cichlids sometimes as well.[/QUOTE]
x2. i have 9 clown loaches(2''-5'') with 3 bichirs(4''-7'')in my 55gal growout and the loaches aren't interested in the bichirs at all
