trapped or just hiding?

Longhorn,

Yes, I guess there was enough water in the bottom of the bag and during the trip, the little guy fell out of the driftwood into the water that had accumulated in the bag. The previous owners named him "Lucky".

I have 6 clown loaches that are all about 1" to 1 1/2" long. Early this evening, they were all happily swimming together. Then I went to dinner. When I got home, I could only find one of them. I searched all over. I finally found three of them piled on top of each other in a small dent in a rock (not even a cave--MAYBE you might be able to fit the tip of your thumb inside of it!). So, in my experience, these guys are great at finding every nook and cranny so hide themselves in when they sleep--they tuck themselves in at bedtime!

If you want to coax them out of their holes, I've found that they LOVE sinking shrimp-pellets. All of mine will drop whatever they are doing and race over to the pellets within seconds of it hitting the gravel!
