whats the deal with clown loaches

I'm crazy about clown loaches because they can be a very loving, social, and playful fish.
These fish definitely share a family type bond with each other. If you’ve had a tank of sick clown loaches you’d see that they’ll do their best to nurse each other back to health. The games that loaches play includes- follow the leader, keep away, king of the hill, tag, hide n seek, and with the occasional clicking contest. The more clowns, the merrier. I have 7, but can’t wait to get more, so I’m building a larger tank. I’m remodeling a room for this tank, so I’m definitely crazy and obsessed with them.
 
i see why they are called clowns, their flippers look like big clown boots hehe i bought one, havent really seen him, damned hiding fish!
 
Yes, I agree with everyone else. They have a personality all of their own. The more you get the better ;). I cuurently have 2. im thinking about getting some more for christmas. and yes.. it took mine about a month to come out of hiding, they are very shy.
 
hey guys

just thought i woul throw my experience in i bought 3 a few weeks ago they are little babiies just about 1 1/2 inches so cool! anyhow they stick together most of the time but one of em' is a pure explorer he'll take off on his own sometimes n check stuff out the other two are always close to each other i think the third one feels good just knwing his pals are nearby if he needs them or soemthing - but they are not your typical clowns IMO they are so NON - shy its great !!!


oh yeah get one more they like to have pals !!!
 
Of all the fish I have even kept, the Clown Loach would have to be the most expressive of all fish. My first two were purchased out of necessity ... snails everywhere ... but the others were added because they are so cool to watch (albeit best in the morning).

It always makes be laugh when they tustle with my pleco though. They all seem to enjoy annoying him by "invading his space". :) He also likes to play with them too - his favourite past time is peek-a-boo-loach.

Nothing beats a clown loach
