You can't easily. There is ONE article about it but even then he could've made the whole thing up.


The one key thing is that the loach has to be full grown and most people don't keep them alive long enough for that since they grow very slow.

Doesn't stop people linking to the article though

The generally accepted answer is that breeding of Clowns and other Botias requires special techniques involving hormone injections etc. Now, wild Clowns don't get this treatment, so there must be an answer out there somewhere. Let's hope somebody discovers it before they are all extinct.

Koi and Carp horomones are used I believe so find yourself a Koi or Carp and start squeezing.

Not likely you are being serious, but just incase you were... how are you going about it.

>>> Not likely you are being serious

A number of serious aquarists have spent years working on it. From field intelligence, there seems to be a migration before spawning. Researching what triggers this migration and what identifies the target are as likely to be discovered by an experienced aquarist who knows his fish as a research biologist adding 5ppm of Selenium sulphide to test tank 1234 and not noticing any effect as he walks off to the next tank.

If I'm not serious then why do I have a simulated "rainy season" for my tank in my living room?
