I was just getting set to go out for the night and checked in on the fish. Did a little head count… just 3 zebra loaches (not 4). And one of the loaches kept swimming back and forth at the mouth of one of their caves while inside another was working furiously to force himself into a little crevice I didn't notice when I set it up.
So I reached in and lifted the roof off, causing them both to bolt, and the fourth loach was there -- in the crevice underneath where the other loach had been, packed into the sand halfway under a rock. I assumed it was dead and reached in to pull him out… nope, swam out on his own. Crazy little b@$t@rds… glad I went with the calm peaceful ones
