Where did this term originate. I know that it is an aggressive loach tank but i have never known why it is named grrr.

Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.

As far as I know, this was Graeme Robson's coinage. Him and a bunch of bears...

I think it's a great term.
I'm new to loaches in general and understood instantly what was meant by it. :lol:

I understood the term as fish that piss you off at first. And that a grr tank would be a skunk-proof, yellow-fin proof or some-other-naughty-loach proof tank.

Loaches are indeed naughty litte truants.

I have dubbed my loaches "my truant children"
