clown loaches...

Clown Loaches are awesome fish. I almost wish they weren't quite so efficient at wiping out my snail infestation so there would be more snails to watch them eat. :)

The ones I had were little a** h****. :yes:

 

Mean as anything, would flip over and use their upside down mouths to torment the other fish.

 

I think there was a red tail black shark that they took extra pleasure in going after.

 

I guess I should've goven them some snails to devourer instead. :D

 

Beautiful fish tho,

I probably should've tried getting them again later on when I had a less peaceful tank (more aggressive fish)

weird thing is that clown loaches were listed as "community fish". :dunno:

 

My red tailed shark is the bully of my tank. :D Oldest fish i have too.

I might have just got a 'bad batch', I found other catfish I liked (cory cats, upside down cats, bumblebee cats, etc), and went with those after the Clown Loaches were gone.

 

One I really liked was an angelicus cat (the spotted silver/white kind), I had a pair in a brackish tank (with a figure 8 puffer, and some other brackish fish).

 

When one of the pair died, I 'converted' the other to salt (gradually increased salt levels, till it was the same as my salt tank).

Only fish I ever made money on, I think the pet store gave me like $25, because he was a salt water fish. :D
