hi my cloun loach keeps swiming up and down the glass 80% of the time.

is this a sighn that he is board or is he just coocoo??

should i get anuther cloun would that help at all???
 
Firstly clown loaches like to be in a group of 3 or more but you will need a good sized tank as although they grow quite slowly they can reach 12" each. Have you checked all the water stats? This constant behaviour is normally a stress reaction.
 
Just looked at your tanks in your profile. The clown is currently in a 19 gal tank which is too small for even one of them :/

yes but the cloun is only 1.3/4" long at the mo. then he will be moved to the 40gal tank..

ill got get him a little friend to keep him happy.
