In my new tank it looked like my Clown Loaches had smoke coming out of their gills. I had to look real close to see what was going on. I have playsand as my substrate in my new tank and my clown loaches suck it up in their mouths and blow it out though their gills. The sand is so fine that it makes a small cloud when it comes out of their gills.
Before I got this new tank running 2 weeks ago , I didn't even know clown loaches sifted the sand for food. I have sand in my old tank, but its a black coated sand thats to big for them to sift through. You can learn something new when you do something different.
Here's some pic's of my clown loaches-
