Clown Loaches and Prawn.

Kana3 · Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:51 pm Post subject: Clown Loaches and Prawn.

I tried some King Prawn, for the first time last night.

It appeared untouched this morning, but one of our Clown Loaches was dead. In fact he looked like a couple of raspers had had a go. And he was alive last night, in case you ask.

Anyway, I don't know if it's related. Certainly the Missus is blaming me for killing her Loach.

Last time I fed Blood-Worms, I lost a Cory. Perhaps fresh foods are not for me (except fruit) ?

I would not have thought the prawn would have caused a problem, as i feed my clowns on prawns, and they love it. What did you do with the prawn ? was it cooked or not ? The reason for the look as if couple of raspers had had a go, is they posibly have as all fish, will feed on a carcase, especialy your bristle noses and gibby, your just gonna have to by the missus some MORE clown loaches to replace the lost one. Did you check the body ? Clown loaches are very susceptible to ich, just a thought

Un-cooked. Although it was slightly done by the next morning.

Well i cant see the prawn being a problem, and yes i would suggest that any uneaten prawns are removed. So i would think there must have been something wrong with the clown

Just coincidence then.

I'm wondering if perhaps it may have choked on a mouthfull. But I didn't think to check until afterwards.

Its possible as it has been know for a fish to die this way Sad

I am suprised that you did not check the fish for possible causes Shocked

What kind of bloodworms offed your fish before? My Discus, angels & corys get them every day with no problems. I use Hikari...supposedly the safest out there. You might give em a try if they're available in the UK. Ever heard of it?

Yeah, our lease ran out many moons ago ! But, Gary, you can pick me up on your way past, on the bike !

We have Hikari. In fact I mentioned a couple in my 'Pantry' thread, recently.

The worms, I'm not sure what they are. They're fresh-frozen, so most likely local. The rest are still in the freezer. I just keep forgetting about them.
