Dick,

Since you are more familiar with clown loaches than me maybe you can answer
my question. I just bought two clowns on Saturday (my first ones ever). I
put them in my quarantine tank (it is very small, only 2 gallons). Since
then they have been hiding under the bubbler bar and haven't came out yet.
They are both hiding under there together upside down. Are clown loaches
notorious for hiding, or do you think it's because they are new, or are they
sick? They came from Petsmart. Thanks, Sarah

I haven't had the best luck with Clowns either (having purchased and sold
over a 1,000 of them when I was in the trade). It got to the point where
every shipment (between 100 and 200 juveniles) went straight into a
holding tank (off-sale) where I would fatten them up with a variety of
foods, including frozen bloodworms.
