Please advice : Clown Loach
3 weeks ago, i bought a 10 inch Clown Loach. And i have put it in my arowana tank together with 2 Tin Foil barbs and 3 parrot fish.
My intention is to slowly 1 by 1 replace all my arrowana tank mates with Clown Loaches. I had tried to feed my Clown Loach with Sinking wafers and fruit like Cucumber. But it never take a single bite. All the while, my clown loach is hidding in the corner and seldom swim around. Is my Clown Loach stress out? Fellow Senior, please advise. |

I think clown loach will fare better in groups.
Maybe you might want to try adding more clown loaches in to form a mini school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Don't think 4 is a large enough group; People recommend 6.
Think you should just go and buy 5 more instead - Clown Loaches aren't going to produce too much waste if you're worrying about overcrowding? |

CLs thrive in large groups so the more the merrier for them. Also keep your water warm as they are very susceptible to white spots once the temp drops.
