Yep, that's what they do, my 2 largest have been at it for 2 days now, they'll get over it LOL

    It's not all about how many gallons they have, as Clowns swim very close to each other, it is about space to swim, they are a fast fish and like to do short bursts of speed, so need the length of tank   Also, you figures are the wrong way around, they reach 16" in the wild, 8-10 usually in...

  75 US Gallons is 62 UK gallons, or 284 Litres   I have about 38 Clown loaches in my main tank, it is 212 US Gallons, 177 UK gallons or 805 litres   It is currently filtered by 3 Eheim 2076e filters, each capable of filtering a 600 litre tank, it will be getting a 4th Eheim 2076e added to it...

If I tried that, I'd come out with no skin on my bones LOL  

    Thanks :-)

    LOL, I know what you mean.   I was due to buy a guitar off someone last week, had the money sat right there waiting for him to reply, no answer after about a week, so I spent £250 of the money, £160 of that was for a new Fluval e200, fluval 306, eheim prefilter and eheim installation kits...

 Not a clue, but Lots   The tank build on site was £1240, plumber £750, radiator cover £210, filters are about £300 each plus media, extension leads, light chokes, light bulbs and reflectors, air pumps, light rack, U.V. light, Eheim Installation kits - 4x inlet and 4x outlet and tons of...

    It does sometimes kick off, if a smaller clown loach decides to go into "HER" plant pot, all hell breaks loose then, fortunately, nearly all of them know not to go into that pot

Not much too say really, the wood is still soaking in a vat in the garden, the pot's days are numbered, the clown loaches ahve found the airlines that run under the gravel and dug them up, they will get reburied when the wood goes in. Most of the Java Fern has been consigned to the bin, it was...

I have 4 2076e's that don't leak Stupid question, but have you checked the lid clamps for signs of wear, or signs of wear on the lid itself, where it clamps on?   NEver understood the 2080, 2 inputs, one output????   Perhaps it might be wise to go for 2 filters if this one is knackered, that...

Just bought another Eheim 2076e filter, filter media and Installation kits for this tank, now finding the time to remove the lid to alter it to fit the filter to the tank, so in the near future, there will be 4x Eheim 2076e filters running on the tank

  4x2x2 is big, mine is just stupid

Unfortunately, these little buggers take SOoooooo long to grow, and are a lot of work, I wouldn't wish to risk their tiny bodies through our beloved postal system, especially since they are no longer being shipped out of Africa, they cannot find them anymore, darn shame   It has taken at least 4...

I am in Plymouth, I have a group of 11 I have had since they were babies, I don't do anything, just make sure they are happy, feed them, clean them out   They do now have a pyrex bowl with black marbles, and a terracota pot covering that.   They breed when they want too, the females are...

    Cool, please do, I think I have reached my Clown Loach limit now with 38 in the big tank, and another 8 somewhere else in the house   Here is my biggest tank   http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/406203-long-winded-8-ft-tank-thread/
