Clown loach and friends pictures

Hi Everyone.
As I think everyone love pictures... i thought I would share these

 

Your fish are looking awesome!!! Love the flagtail, they are on my list. A nice full body closeup of the aro would be much appreciated. The title should be Flash and friends haha.

 

Wow....Love the clowns, cant wait for my 4 clowns to reach that size.

Thanks guys... they are hillarius!! Even Aro looks at them as if they crazy
They are really an entertaining crowd

@BoelderBeestie, I will update Flash's thread tomorrow or so
Every time i try and get a full body shot of him i have the flagtail and the oscar in front of the camera saying "us too" and i battle to get Flash alone!!

 

Haha, cool can't wait.

 

I just love clown loaches. they are so entertaining...

 

@MariaS your clowns seem to be happy and not hiding, myne is still small if i sit still in my office they swim about and seem happy but if i move they hide away until its quite again in the office.

Is this normal for them?

Clowns are a bit shy by nature but will be more so if there are only 3 or 4 of them, they like to be in shoals
They say minimum 6.
I think I have 12 or 13 of them...
But, you can try the following.. they LOVE bloodworms.. so.. let them go a little hungry and then feed them a block of bloodworms but put your hand inside the tank and let the worms thaw off the block
They will soon realize that when they see you they might get bloodworms and slowly they will venture out more
It wont happen overnight but it should work with a little patience
Just remember to wash you hands before putiing in the tank .. no offence meant...

 

Great thank you for the advice, i will definitely try it. I will see if i can get some more clowns as well to help grow the group.

Also remember that some of the clowns on the pictures, I have had for over 3 years and I have a habit of hand feeding each fish individually every day.. I know.. Im crazy
Oscar gets his, severum and the acaras get theirs then Aro then gets fed and last the flagtail and clowns get their blood worms
So they are used to this for a long time..
So be patient will your little ones and Im sure you will get it right too

 

@MariaS Do the loaches need substrate or will they be fine in a BB tank?

 

They do like to forage around the substrate for any food and they love driftwood/caves
I guess like any other fish you can have it in a BB tank.... but not sure if they would be happy...

A really inspiring setup @MariaS, thanks for sharing! I'm guessing snails are non existant in this tank, with that fleet of orange submarines cruising around? Do you ever feed them snails from your other setups?

 

Those clowns are huge!!

 

Stunning clowns you have there. Which I had a bigger tank to add more
