CLOWN LOACH ABOUT TO DIE?

[amanda]

Not too sure in gallons but its either 60 or 80 litres.
Oh and by the way - we just buy fresh food and keep it in the fridge!
Shall I take him out put him in a bowl of water and put him somewhere dark to die? Cant do the rolling pin think - sorry guys.

Wait I think you can cut his head off but I think i've heard that it still is alive?For a bit...

Your'e overstocked then as it's only a 16gal, angel need at least a 30gal tank, and clown loaches need a good 90gal tank,i would use an overdose of med.

Definately take him out so he can die in peace. Also it will prevent the other fish from being little carnivores.

Thanks for your help - will take him out put him in a bowl of water and let him die.
Erm, have checked the gallons, its fine for the fish I have - I always forget the no of gallons and have to do the old table work out each water change! (duuuhhh!)
Oh well RIP little clown loach. (He is still flicking his tail a bit)

But if your just putting him in a bowl hes still suffering...

Do you have any meds or vodka, and I would see if the lfs would take the clown loach back as they are no good on there own, like to be in groups, and your tank is way to small for clown loaches.

He is now in a big bottle of the tank water with some med liq its dark so he shouldnt get too stressed. The tank size is 60g. Will look at getting another friend for other clown loach. He seems to be calming down now and not flicking as much.
Thanks for your help guys.

(p.s no vodka drank it all last night!)
