hi everyone
Until the last few months my loaches have been quite happy however I rarely see them these days. I've had these fish for about 8 years. They are in a 500 litre tank with lots of hiding places but they seem obsessed with a particular spot and spend all day there shifting positions. They all used to have unmarked and glowing skin. They appear now to have scars and dark pigment freckles. I also have in the tank a pearl gourami and a large orange rainbow fish. I have noticed the rainbow fish is a bully. I have seen him almost herding the clown loaches. I intend to move him to another tank in a week. They have all been together for some years and seemed to tolerate each other. Admittedly the rainbow fish is a pretty magnificent looking specimen but the loaches seem not to eat as well these days either. Anyway just putting this out there to others who have clown loaches
