dissapearing loaches

i had 4 very active loaches that would come out and swim and eat and play i added two more loaches to them about the same size 4 days ago and i havnt seen them since they wont even come out to eat what do i do

what fish do you have them with... do you know if they are eating?? i feed mine right when i turn the lites out....

opps i see your list now.... they probably still a little spooky in a new tank... give them a chance...

I had a fish do that. It takes a bit for them to get used to new changes in the environment and other fish coming into their territory.

Also they have stuff you can get to help your fish eat, but what I have always done is take a small, very small, piece of garlic and place it in your tanks for a few minutes and see if they respond.

LOaches will bury themselves! Also do you have any rockwork or places they could get stuck in? Those spines on the sides of their heads don't give them much of an opportunity to "Back" out of tight spaces.
