Loaches Online Forum

I came home early today from work and found one of the loaches napping on its side inside the pvc pipe. The loach didn't even wake up when I made noise either. Took a good 2 hour nap....

Cute. My almorhae does that occasionally or at least when I see him do that.

Catching a photo of a napping clown is tricky. With the creaky floors in my house, I have to wait for a while before most of the loaches reappear when I enter the room. Great nap shot.

That's a great picture, LO. Thanks for sharing it.

That PVC pipe sure looks to be a big hit with your clowns! Great picture!

Looks like he had a hard night

Great shot

Nice image!!

i got a PVC pipe too but its straight.
they go in it only ocasionally

What a cute picture!!!
You're lucky to have managed to sneak up on him while sleeping!
Whenever I try to take pics of mine sleeping, I think the flash wakes them up

Hee! Too cute -- did you use a flash on that, or were the lights on? I can only ever get pictures of nappers when the lights are off and I don't use flash, so they always come out like this:

yes the flash was on. the flash has a slight delay so it seems to workout perfectly if i am sitting a few feet away from the tank. i believe the loach didn't swim away bc its head was facing away from the camera. this loach used to sleep on its side right out in the open with me sitting next to the tank but since the tank change. the loach isn't as brave.

caught the smaller one doing it today. also the big one was laying side by side with the smaller one but i couldn't catch it.

Awesome pics.

i forgot. this one was kinda funny too. you can see two of them crammed together.

I heard a dab of aquarium glue make Clown pics easy to get.
