    Clown loaches are known to be opportunistic feeder if there hungry. I have seen some of mine in the past shred fry and newly introduced juvi's.

        they dont have large mouths for their size but will eat about anything that will fit, if hes large enough then i am sure hes the culprit. nature does what nature does, regardless of our plans sometimes :(

              finish moving all of the clown to just one tank

              set up a 55 today for the fry grow out, hopefully will be cycled by tomorrow

              and hopefully tomorrow no dead bodies in the filter , will see if the clown was the KILLER !
