My clown loaches never eat plants; in fact, they haven't learned to enjoy any vegies much to my chagrin (I'm a vegetarian..hehe). However, I have indeed found they sometimes like to do their own aquascaping and may tend to disagree with how you decide you want your aquascape :P They usually win. I also agree that clown loaches need very large tanks and I do not suggest them when there are many other types of loaches more suitable in terms of size. If you can find them, Botia Sidthimunki are small, peaceful, and have wonderful personalities. _______________________________________________ AGA-Member mailing list AGA-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-member
