First i thought it was my heater that made that sound but when i heard it again it came from the clown loaches,first time i hear something like that Some of you who had the same clicking sounds? Robby I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

There was another thread about it [link=here]http://fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Bottom%20Feeder%20Frenzy/67191.html" style="COLOR: #808080[/link]. Loaches normally do it when excited or wound up about something. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

My Yoyo Loaches used to do it when eating. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
