Who ate my Clown Loaches?

Hi All,

thanks for the many reassuring messages. They haven't (to my
knowledge) re-appeared, but I have got a few more to hopefully keep
them company and bring them out.

We shall wait and see.

Thanks again,

Have you checked your filters? I used to keep clown botias a few years
ago and every once in a while, one would jump up into one of the AC500
filters hanging on the back. Not up through the inlet tube, but up into the
filter outlet stream. I also found a few dead on the floor. The first
botia I ever had, swam into a powerhead,. Thats when I realized I would
have to botia-proof the tank if I wanted to continue to keep them. If you
own botias, it is a good idea to cover the take completeley. Don't allow
any open holes or they can and will jump out.
If you think clown loaches dissappear alot, don't try to keep horse-face
loaches as I would only see them for a split second once every couple
months.
good luck
Matt

Hey look man you are not alone on this one i bought 2 three inch
Clown loaches cost 25 $ each and i used to see them all the time
swimming around the tank especially at feed time they were excellent
tank members then i put in a fake rock with a few holes in it for them
to hank out in and i havn't seen them since that was 3 months ago..
I assume they were eaten by my other fish and quite frankly to take
everything oput of the tank to see if they were still around isnt
really a viable option it would be a mammoth task..
So i assume mine died and have been eaten too
Sadly i hope that they are still alive but i seriously doubt it
8^)

I filmed my fish about eight months ago the file is available from
alt.binaries.aquaria its about 3 megs big
Do enjoy

Bummer didn't work

Hey mate
If you noticed it wasn't a binary file but only a header to goto
alt.binaries.aquaria so before you winge and complain about something
that
you have wrongly accused me of take a moment to read the post and get
your
facts straight
Thanks for the concern
