clown loaches in my planted tank
I usually don't cross post stuff, but I wanted to see what you guys in this
ng might think about this: ---- My 6 clown loaches are doing some strange stuff, at least to me. I have a 75g planted tank and my 6 clown loaches like to go to the very top of the tank and "root" along the glass just above the water line. they make a very loud popping, slurping, clicking noise when they do this. the 2 big angelfish and rainbow fish come up and watch like something strange is going on, but they do not do this. i have looked where they are doing this and i cannot see anything on the glass they could possibly be trying to eat. what could they possibly be doing? is this an indicator of a problem in the tank? |

My clown loaches don't generally do this, but I don't think it's a problem. It sounds like feeding behavior to me. IME, clown loaches don't click when they are in distress. They click when trying to establish dominance (often when they are scuffling over food). Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

Many snails lay their eggs above the water line. I suspect this may be what the loaches are after. Jeff |
