Clown Loaches

[liam15]

hi im new to this forum just wondering if anyone new about clown loaches and if they breed easily or not as one of mine has swelled up and the other is digging in the stones near it

To my knowledge clowns have not been bread in captivity with perhaps the exception being commercial breeder. But I have not heard of that either. The digger is just being a clown, The swollen up one would bear some observation. There may be an internal parasite or some other form of illness. If it continues I would get on the loach forum and ask the question.
