Hi everyone,
I have 5 clown loaches, 4 gourami, and a royal pleco in my tank.
The clowns only make an appearace at feeding times. They hang out for about 10 min, then go back into their hollow tree stump "hiding place".
When they are out, I see no aggression against them by the other fish.
I'm worried because they are now about 2" long each, and somehow they all nestle up in this one decoration somehow. Also, if they are eating and the tank light comes on they stop eating and scurry back into the darkness.
What can I do?
It's at the point where I'm only putting the light on about 1hr. a day, but they still don't want to be out of the tree stump. I bought a large "sunken ship" ornament, hoping they would migrate to somewhere with more space, but no dice.
HELP!!!!!
Thanks in advance,
Jay
