I think they may be trying to tunnel out of the tank

Loaches are awesome fish. Anyways, my cories dig around alot, and it doesn't appear to hurt them too much. Consider it fish excercise, at least they'll be healthy, eh?

Gravel is fine too though.

My bronze cories blow gravel out of their gills. Such characters...

Just digging for food, mine do it aswell (although not down to the glass), they also make a clicking sound while they do it. Nothing to worry about......how deep is your gravel?

Clowns love sand, but gravel does work for them too. You are just experiencing normal clown behavior
