Aquarium Advice Addict
So after a trip to the LFS a week ago I left with 3 new clown loaches. Well they hardly every come out of this piece of blue decoration:
They love chillin' in those tubes so much they hardly ever come out. I was so worried that I thought they might have gotten sucked into the filter or eaten or jumped out b/c they completely disappeared. SO last night I pulled up my sleeve, and picked it up, turned it upside down, and out came two of em. But I'm still missing one, so I take the deocoration to the sink (with the drain stopped up of course) and run water through it while it's upside down. Sure enough, out pours the third smallest loach so I netted him and put him back in the tank.
Are they nocturnal or something? I hardley ever see em and when I do, they're usually on their way in or out of the blue tube thing. I'm thinking of taping or closing the holes somehow so I don't have to worry about not seeing them but don't want to take away their hiding spots (which they obviously LOVE. Advice?
