some of u may know that i have one shunk loach that was a mean guy. i put him into my overstocked 55 gallon with parrots and red fin loaches. n.e way he disappeared for a week, but then i added three clown loaches. all the loaches are big, but then all of a sudden the shunk loach came out and he was alive and big. about 1.5 inches. well n.e way i want to share that.

Loaches are pretty good at hiding places where you'd least expect them.

But I must ask... Why where you adding more clown loaches to an already overstocked tank?

bettachris, better keep up with the water changes

That and if the others in the tank have such attitudes why would you put the little clowns in there with them? I don't think mine are too aggressivethe only aggression I've seen so far was when I feed and the Hasbrosus get in the way of the algae tablet they wantthen it's road kill
