That's your opinion and I respect that but I do not agree with it. I apologize if I seemed harsh.

if it makes you feel better I had 3 clown loaches in a 20gh for a little bit. People here told me what was up, I read some more, looked into it and I bought them a 90g, sure it took A LOT of saving but the fish are worth it. The clown loaches are much happier now. Just look at those videos and pics of clown loaches, you KNOW that those fish are going to need a much larger aquarium than a 20g.
Look into it is all I ask!! :cool2:

Yeah, well I'm keeping them AND I'll keep them where they are. They are fine where they are. They're happy fish. Work on your people skills a little more O.K.? No offence.

Happy holidays to all!

You're over reacting. My loaches are FINE. They are not dying a slow,painful death. I've kept pets of all kinds for MANY , MANY years thank you. All were treated like kings and queens, including my fish. Who are YOU to tell me how to care for my pets? Let me guess, your a member of PETA too right? Sigh...

RELAX, calm down and have a good holiday and new year. I'm done with this thread. I try to participate here and I have over the top fanatics like you blasting me.

Jeeez....

you dont have to be a member of PETA to be against animal cruelty. local ASPCAs are against animals cruelty, but they are not a part of PETA. nobody likes when they see a dog chained up to a fence or a horse that is so skinny that you can see its backbone and hip bones. animal cruelty is just wrong.

they might not be dying now, but they will eventually. clown loaches are slow growers; it might take a bit longer than most fish. they will become stunted unless you move them to a bigger tank.
