Clown Loach Back from the dead ?

[JohnGivens]

Hi Everyone,

I just had a total tripped out experience about an hour ago. If it had'nt happened in front of my own eyes I would have never believed it. About 2 weeks ago I went to the LFS and bought 2 clown loaches for my new and upcoming 100 gallon tank. I initially put the 3 inch loaches in my 37 gallon tank with my Parrott Chiclids and Silver Dollars. I had to move the loaches to my 29 gallon after about 20 minutes as my Parrotts were totally going after them. During the move one of the Loaches swam into a hole in the bottom of my fake Driftwood centerpiece. I tried to no avail to get him out without success. I then put the centerpiece back into the tank. Today I removed the centerpiece and cleaned it out with a brush and bingo ! Out came a flipping in the sink bottom live Clown Loach. Totally blew me away. Well just thought I would share this interesting experience with those of you that are interested.

I had a zebra loach disappear inside my fake driftwood for quite some time. Didn't see him for over a week. I figured he was dead for sure, so I took out the drift wood to clean it out and remove the dead fish and sure enough he falls out of the driftwood into the sink, still alive and healthy.
