Hey. I have 5 clown loaches in my 72 us gall tank. So far they've killed every last bristlenose plec ranging from baby to full size breeding adults, 6 or 7 inch rusty plec and have been trying for over a month to take out the biggy, a 9 inch common plec which is the last remaining bottom feeder of the tank. They didnt need to fight for territory as they had 6 breeding caves and a huge piece of bog wood to choose from and now they all hurdle into 3 of them. Their size ranges from 2.5 to just short of 4 inches.
If we feed them live food they dont take it, nor do they take frozen or dried treats. All they like is plenty of flake. Has anyone else ever seen this behaviour. This whole fiasco with the killing started months ago, but the common plec is starting to look worse for wear so im starting to get inquisitive about the whole thing.
