Yoyo Loaches Make Me Laugh.

[SMAUG]

I love the way that they hide their heads when they get flighty.
sort of " if i cant see it, it cant see me" mentality.

Sulking Clown Loach:

Hope you enjoy the pix,
Yoyo loaches are just generally hilarious. I find them more active and more curious than clowns.
We'll see how they settle in after a few months.

Nice tank, how many of each loach do you have???

 

[SMAUG]

How many loaches?:
6 Clowns

6 Yoyo

4 Kuhlie

Enough of a school of each to get group behaviour.
Thanks for the comments

I have a yoyo loach, I love the way he lays on his side as if he is having a nap! The first time he did this I thought he was dead! Then I read some where that this is common in loaches. I also have 3 clown loaches and they also do this!

Nice pictures by the way!

I love the way loaches sleep in general

they make me laugh too, just looked in my tank and my clown loach has dug his head into the gravel with the rest of his body sticking out
