[GSAS-Member] Clown Loach Maturity and Skittishness

["Shango Los" <Shango@shangolos.com>]

Hello All,

 

I have a school of 5 Clown fish and I got them about 8 weeks ago from my
LFS.  They are small and look young but I don't know how young.  Right now
they are VERY skittish.  If I come anywhere near the tank they disappear to
the back of the tank under cover.  This does get tiring when trying to enjoy
their antics.

 

My friend has some that are at least a year older than mine and they are not
skittish at all and actually nap out in the open and do that cuddling thing
Clown Loaches do.

 

Is this skittishness typical of young Clown Loaches?  If so, when do they
tend to grow out of it?  I am wondering if it is the tank environment that
is leaving them feeling unsafe or if it is simply their youth.  I have been
unsuccessful finding anyone addressing this topic online.

 

Any insight would be great.  I know some of you like Jack are really into
these sweet fish.

 

Thanks

Shango
