clown loacheshae never been bred in captivity except for a couple of places in south america and asia who introduce hormones into the water which makes them breed.
they will be fine together but if u want to see more of your loach get another 2 or 4….loaches are very social and prefer to be with other loaches in a tank otherwise they tend to hide too much and u never see them working them in odd numbers seems to keep them together as a group some loaches will separate into pairs if their are 4, 6 etc u will also see them play more games when there are a couple loaches in a tank
yes they do fight which is when ull see them “greying out” where the fighters will go very pale and they will then start biting each others mouth and using the spikes on their face.they wont fight alot only once and only when a new loach is added to the tank….u will usually tell the alpha will be the largest if u hav loaches all of similar size u may see them fighting more often as the loaches will always be thinking they can take over cause theyre not mch bigger in which case its hard to tell
sophie,they are great fun fish, they are good tankmates to most fish.
i have 6 of varying sizes from 2″-5″ and are my favourites
they often “play dead” so watch out
watch them devour some cuccumber!
i hav got them now i only have 2 and they seem to be ok,how do you tell if they are a female or male,is it hard to tell?
I got them from a 5 star company that are great.
they are a bit crazy and hyper active. lol
im my fish tank i have a peppered corydoras (catfish) and an white one,i have 3 neon tetras,2 guppys and 1 flying fox and 2 clown loaches, the peppered corydoras seems to eat all the neons.
i had 12 and now i have 8 but i am getting two new fish and i dont know what to get, it needs to be 1inch or more because my tank is only 24 letres i am getting an upgrade on may the 12 so my tank will be triple the size. so can u help me as i am no fish expert lol thanks
