ok, this is my second attempot at keeping clown loach's, I know the basics, keep more than one,plenty of places to hide, good water qulaity and they get big, but when I got my first one he cruised around the tank for an hour or so and then hid in this root thing I have ( its real wood with alot of nooks and cranny's ) well after a month or so he dissapeared and no body was ever found, I assume he died in the root thing, but my water quality never changed. so a couple months go buy and I bought a new clown a couple days ago, he did the same exact thing, hung around the tanka bit, then boom went right into the root the same way theother oen did, and he also hides for days, I haven't seen him in two days, I can see him moving his tail in ther ebut he won't come out. I put in normal tetramin flake food, occasionally bloodworms, and sometimes shrimp pellets. Should i buy a couple more loaches tommorow or something? its only a 29 gallon tank. if its the wooden root, I'm replacing it tommrow with some resin pieces I purchased off a memeber on here. Iono what to do honestly, its really discouraging to think I'm doing some wrong, but yet after all the tests and different methods of feeding and what not, I still don't knowwhat it is, thanks fo rany help guys
