  • Strange Behavior With My Clown Loach and Tropheus

    I've been noticing something I've never noticed before with my fish. Only happens with one of my trophs. One of them lays on the side a little and the clown loach will start grazing on it. Seems like the troph actually enjoys how it feels. Weirdest thing.

    Weird! My clown loaches lay all over each other, but I've never seen them do anything like that.

      Strange Behavior With My Clown Loach and Tropheus

      I've seen my little zebra loaches do that to other fish in the tank but never had a fish "lay" there and enjoy it.

                  Not hard for me to believe , my syno petricolas are always sliding down the sides of my Petros in the same fashion as the sucker types in the ocean do to fish.

                      That's different. I have 3 clown loaches and I have never seen them snuggling with my trophs. That would be very interesting.
