Dwarf Chain Loaches - Feeding Time

[smithrc]

Evening all.

We had one of these little guys for ages "Sid".
After a bit of luck, were upto 6 now

Anyway - We had a snail clear up in one of our tanks and fed them to our clowns - well that was my plan.
These guys had other ideas

Very nice!

Nice-looking clown too...what else is in the tank? The video is not sharp enough to guess the dither or the pleco.

In the Vid you can see...
Rummy noses checking out the snails,
one of our L400's (in the cave)
our L075 (back left)


The tanks has....
9x Congo Tetras
7x Syno Petricolas
5x Clown Loaches (2-3" at the moment)
6x Dwarf Chain Loaches
6x Triline Corys
4x L400
1x L025
1x L075

Awesome fish. Do they usually stay on the bottom or do they swim mid level?

depends on their mood

They are generally mid swimmers - hovering on plants and wood

I love that video.

I've got six chain loaches too. I recently moved house and my chain loaches are very skittish at the moment - rushing to hide whenever I go near. Hope they settle down soon.

There's now just one huge snail in the tank - it's too big for them to eat but they've obviously snaffled up any little ones. I'd thought of gathering some from another tank - but never got round to it. Must give it a go.
