 | Are they mating...? |
Manix Hobbyist Posts: 62 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 18-Aug-2004   | I have two hillstream loaches. Today I noticed they are actively on top of each other. It went on for 1 hour or more. I was wondering what are they doing? are they mating? or just playing...?  |

Loaches have a tendency to be rather goofy, and horse around a lot. One of the things that they like to do is lie around in piles, resting on top of one another. That's probably what yours were doing. |
