hi all
one of my clown loach lies on its side. is this normal and if so does anyone know why?? cheers |

I have heard that this is normal (think I read in i the Q&A section of PFK magazine) with clown loaches |
| 11-11-2007 19:38 by telboy |
yes, this is normal,some even sleep on their sides/back |

Think I read that soem have thought to have been dead, but they were actually ok. I know when I had one about 5 years ago (when it finally got over its 'just put in the tank at home so guaranteed to get white spot' phase) I often thought that it had passed away or was ill, but no, its just one of their traits |

yes its strange do you think that its playing dead or something |

I have 3 of them. They DO lie on their side very often. I have a tunnel where they all congregate - they all lie together!! I thought it very odd at first, but it's normal, don't worry |

Are they female, it would explain their tendancy towards lyin  |

i've got three clown loaches and they all lie on their sides as does my largest pakistani loach i'm pretty sure that they're just relaxing sometimes they don't move for hours |

Nothing to worry about they're just relaxing, although it's very easy to worry when you first see it. |
