Horse Head Loach

[boff]

hi my dad has just bought a horse head loach ,the bloke in the shop said that he would be fine by himself,i was wondering if they ars like clown loaches that the more you have the happier they are thanks for any help .

im not a fish expert but i think all loaches enjoy company of their own species. i had a blue botia (blue loach) a few weeks ago and i bought him alone. He nipped at all the other fish. I later learned that if they have a companion they tend to be less aggressive. but i dont know about the horse heads. do you have a picture? im just curious to see it.

thanks!

hi i do know that these loaches are shy, but all you see of him is his face sticking out off the gravel and like you say loaches do seem to enjoy others of the same so it seems he will have to get one more .If you go to www.loaches.com you will find a picture of one cheers boff.
