clown loaches and odd behavior

you should hear how they click when I put a couple of thin pieces of
zuchinni squash in the tank for them to eat. you can hear the clicking very
good as they "stab" at the squash. the 6 of them will eat 2 pieces
completely thru the center in about 20 minutes. it's fun to watch.

This strangeness is rather typical, as is the clicking sound mentioned.

now that is strange

I have a few fish that do that, the noisiest characters being the zebra
loach, bala sharks and clown loaches. Always food related, either during
feeding, or snooping around for food.
The oddest noise I ever heard had to come from the angelicous cat when I
moved him from one tank to another, when he was out of the water, sounded
like rubbing the fingers of a comb back and forth. Actually, if you watched
the movie "Signs", the noise the aliens made.

Cheers

My 6 clown loaches are doing some strange stuff, at least to me. I have a
75g planted tank and my 6 clown loaches like to go to the very top of the
tank and "root" along the glass just above the water line. they make a
very
loud popping, slurping, clicking noise when they do this. the 2 big
angelfish and rainbow fish come up and watch like something strange is
going
on, but they do not do this. i have looked where they are doing this and
i
cannot see anything on the glass they could possibly be trying to eat.
what
could they possibly be doing? is this an indicator of a problem in the
tank?
