omg i love clown loaches, they're awesome, i have four of them with my cichlids. they are darn cute, one of them plays dead all the time. theres a video of my fish posted. How big is your tank? I have a 75 g
@InXCtinC Dont worry, once your loaches get used to their new environment they will come out.. Just make sure you don't have them in with overly aggressive fish, and it also help to have some kind of dither fish with them like tetras!! I have 4 clowns in a aggressive Sa cichlid tank with a red devil twice their size, and they come out and swim circles around him,almost like their taunting him!! LoL
@ptgb57pt "Greying out"? LoL, do your research fool, some clown loaches have that white tint to them depending on which region their from!! Some mature males also have a white tint!!
I grew my shoal of clown loaches in a year to about 4 inchs from babies. Before i got them i let an infestation of snails grow and when i put them in they went to town! they had eaten probably over 600 snails in 155 gallon. hahha
got 5 clown loaches for 3 days now and all they do is hide inside the cave. all five of them. i noticed that when theres noone near them they come out and swim. when i come near them they go back inside the cave. can anyone tell me whats going on?
They are VERY stressed. See them greying out? Do some research on your fish! It's not just the size of your tank, its the fact that these fish don't have enough spots to hide. They are Loaches, Bottom feeders. They need places on the BOTTOM to hide.
i like your clown loaches .. but they're stressed out .. they need places to hide some live plantss plenty of them even if u mix them with other community fish won't harm them .. like bala sharks they get along well with them.. increase decoration first
I have one clown loach that does nit eat anything I got it 4 or 3 days ago n he didn't eat pellets wut should I get for my clown loach to eat please help.
people are dumbasses, in large groups, and being alone, clown loaches gain more confidence. If you were alone in the jungle you would want a hideout. if you were with 30 others then you wouldn't honestly give a shit. Fish learn too, if they realise they don't need to rake for their food, they will adapt, if they see NO threats, they will not hide, and if properly housed (yes 300 gallons is enough lol) then they will be big and healthy. Your all dumbasses. this man is taking wonderful care.
You are all free to make comments and judge my fish keeping practice. I hardly think that all the loaches in a 300 gallon tank with a 180 gallon wetdry is overstocked... I keep fish for MY enjoyment and really don't care what ohers think! I have had these loaches for 3 years now and not lost one.
@xxblwn408 He didnt say that your tank is overstocked. He suggested that maybe having more hiding spots would be nice. Loaches do like to hide. They also like to play in the sand so a sandy bottom would also be nice. They are a nice bunch. I have 10 in my 120 gallon but eventually I want to upgrade to a 180 for them. My largest one is around 6" and I have a couple small ones at around 2" (my newest addition). My older - the 6" is about 6 or 7 years old.
@xxblwn408 That is if your overstocked comment was directed at ashleymorrissey101, because when you view the comments, it kind of looks like you're responding to him. Either way, its not overstocked. At least not yet. Maybe when they start hitting 9-10" or more than ya :) but that would take a very long time.
pets at home sold me an infected fish the tank it was from had white spot they say they have strict guide lines on selling fish but the clearly dont look after them in there own tanks
im guessing your from the uk? pets at home in cramlington have sold me 10 guppies, 15 tetra neons, 6 clown loach, 2 shrimp and all i have left are the shrimp one clown loach and 6 neons. they even sold me there reccommended white spot treatment, next time i went in i was told that isnt the cure its just a preventative and i had to buy something else instead. ive had to sit and watch as my fish have died off even though im doing everything i can.
Tank size fine for NOW - but clowns can live 20 years and grow to 13 - 14 inches EACH - so when they outgrow the tank what will you do? They really do need hiding places and soft sand substrate though for them to feel happy - Colour of CL shows what mood they are in - brighter the happier.
not healthy over crowding they need 10 gallons per loach you need a much bigger tank at least 750 gallons min they are also not happy they are dull colored no gravel decor what an ugly tank just glass overcrowded with fish and a filter put some decor and gravel in they are gona die ass hole
300gal is plenty for now, nice & healthy looking clowns!! I would like to ask what the measurements are though? As if it has height rather than width or length you may have an issue with oxygen levels at the bottom of the tank. I can't help but agree with Somaloca though, a couple of bags of sand & a pipe or two to hide in would do them good.
my god there are some dumb people. 300gal is an awesome size, he could have much more in their., i quote " learn to spell 300g= 300grams? lol" if u use ur head and it was 300 grams that means 300 mililitres, yes he has those big loaches in a coke can son. , its pretty obvious he means 300gal.
I'm sure these fish would appreciate some fine gravel or sand on the bottom of the tank. They like to be able to hide as well so some plants and a turned over flower pot would probably make them happy
These fish look great, but you can still tell they are not completely happy the colours should be far more vibrant, try giving them some places to hide.....
Yes, with 6 clown loaches in a 300 US gal, the tank is at a 65-70% stocking. so adding 4 more, the tank will be at 100% stocking. How many clown loaches do you have? More than 10 and you are over stocked.
They look great mate. You should add some substrate to the bottom and some large pieces of bogwood at the back with plants. You'll see there true character come through mate.
i dont usually bother with commenting on peoples videos. but your clown loaches are amazing. are they all yours or did u take that video from an aquatic shop? x tb love richard x
