I have 7 clown loaches in a 110 gallon tank. So, how exactly do you
figure your clown loach is "quite happy"?

I'm not even going to continue this silly conversation.

Why is it a silly conversation? Because you're not being told what you want
to hear? Sorry, it's opinion based, and that's the nature of the beasts
sometimes...

Because this guy started in on me based on assumptions. I am not willing to
go through the history of my tank with someone with this attitude. I simply
stated that I did not have the room for more clown loaches and I get a
condecending response. I guess if I had done my research and had the
PROPER number of clown loaches but something happened and I lost all but one
I'd have to kill the little guy just because he didn't meet someone's
definittion of a happy fish.

Personally I do not care what I hear from this thread. If you note, my
original post contained no question marks. I was not soliciting advice, but
merely sharing my experience. I think I can judge whether my fish is content
since I am the one who does the feeding, does the maintenence, watches the
fish, etc.

At least a few here enjoyed my original post as evidence by private e-mails I
have received (for fear of retribution from others here).

If you want to start a thread on stocking levels for tanks then surely a new
thread would be more appropriate. This thread was about how my clown loach and
my serpae tetra get along so well.

I don't think that's what anybody ever meant to say, and I'm sure if you'd
hang around awhile, you'd notice these people are just very fond of treating
their wet pets with respect and try to maintain a near perfect environment
for them... If you feel that someone has come down hard on you, (I've been
accused of being a hardliner before) then maybe it's the way you state your
original questions, or the fact that we can't tell or see humor over the net
sometimes...

Remember, we're only given 20seconds of a 2year saga, sometimes we can take
things the wrong way.... it happens, no fault to anyone, it just does...

Great, then you realize that this group is made up of a bunch of good people
and me, one arsehole... hahaha!!!

Here's what most people would say when someone gets upset when they don't
hear what they were hoping to hear, "this is usenet, get a thicker skin...."

Take it for what it's worth... there are many VERY knowledgeable pple here,
it'd be a waste NOT to use some suggestions, and ignore the ones that dont'
apply to your tank...k?

I'm sure of that and I feel the same way which was the basis for my original
post. Those guys looked like they were really hafing a lot of fun so I wanted
to write about them.

I think it was that I stated that I introduced ONE clown loach to my tank
rather than the CORRECT number.

In any case I really enjoy my fish and have enjoyed the stories as well as the
questions and answers here. I have been following this group for 2 years,
mostly lurking but adding and taking occasionally as well.
