	Blowing Bubbles?
stuquarium Enthusiast Posts: 262 Kudos: 275 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Oct-2004	hey everyone, i've got a question for you, recently, say the last few weeks my pair of clown loaches have taken to blowing bubbles on the surface of my tank.. it leaves a mucasy film on the surface too.. whats all that about? i can hear them at all hours making the popping sound on the surface, they do it during feeding too. it's also causing algae to grow on the underside of my wooden lid... making it all black and green, this wipes off easily? is this a natural loach thing? are they trying to tell me something?
