I have 2 different loaches in my 55 gallon. I put both of the in there on saturday. All was fine all weekend and through this morning. But now the clown loach is missing, i have removed the fake tree and other deco items looking for him, but with no luck. These are my first loaches and was wondering if i may be overlooking something. Do loaches tend to hide.

I know when I first got my BN he like to hide in the filter, is it possible that the clown is hiding from me?

did you check the filter?? under everything in the tank??

My prawn ate 3 of my Malawi's so look for anything aggresive in there.

Yes clowns will hide anywhere they can fit. They will also play dead, laying on their side and upside down so if he looks dead when you find him give him a poke before you get the net.

I've only seen mine do it 2 times. My friend had one that would always play dead or take naps call it what you want

Naps..... hahahah man i gotta get me some of those:)

Alk, they get very very big in a very short time, The will outgrow a 180g quickly.

i know they look kinda kreepy wen their all grown up!....the lfs has 1 bout 8" i think.....looks weird to me lol....o only like em wen their small:)
how fast though?

I've herd of them needing a 180g within 2 years

wow.............
