Nice healthy loaches. They still stay together, too. They seem to like being photographed. Very Happy

Yea they are nice and healthy Very Happy

Yes they still like to be together, i actually have 5 in the tank, but find it very hard to get pics of all 5 together Evil or Very Mad

They make me laugh as they all squeeze in to a bit of bogwood that is hollow, reminds me of sardines in a tin hate laughing

one of my tanks is becomming a bit over run with ramshorn snails at the mo. i am tempted to get a couple of clowns to deal with the snails, but i am worried they might eat my shrimps too.

i will need to do a bit of reading to see if the shrimps are part of a clown loach diet or not.

oh, and yea they are good looking fish u have here clunk. i had a few before, one of them grew to 6 inches long and was a real fatty. Smile

Not sure if your shrimps would be eaten or not, as i have never kept shrimps so cant answer that. one of the clowns is about 6" now with the other 4 at about 5", must say i honestly thing they look better when they get a bit of size on them Very Happy

Very gregarious !

I've been collecting the Malaysian Snails from the small tank, and dropping them into the large tank, where the Clowns are. I guess they're doing the job, I haven't seen any Snails crawling about.

If you cant see any then the clowns will be doing the job, but also snails have been known to hide away from clown loaches

Do they lose their color as they get older/bigger?

Not that i am aware of, i have noticed they have a stress colour where the colour appears to look washed out
