Cool. I'm glad the little loach is doing better.

Fish are quite amazing. If they are well fed and healthy when a major trauma like this happens they can repair amazingly well as long as they are kept in clean conditions and looked after.

I'll get on it Shari. I cleaned the glass inside and out, and rerouted some hoses Today. I'll get a video when they come out to play again. Sometimes it takes awhile for them to forgive me though.

The tank isn't nearly as exciting as it use to be though because there is much less water flow now. I changed the powerhead pump set-up so that no more fish would get hurt. I'll need to get a new pump one of these days, so that I can get that great water flow again.

The recovering clown loach was looking kind of restless in the 5g q-tank Today. So I done a short acclimation and then moved him to the river tank. I put food in the tank and he was right in the midst of things. I could hardly tell him apart from the rest of the small clowns. The only difference is that his right eye is darker and seems kind of lazy.

Here's some pic's-
He's the clown in the front left in both pic's.

This speaks to cleanliness for the duration of the recuperation time and overall conditions in your system.You are a Majic Chef Keith 8)
