Saturday Morning, Clown Loach Slumber Party (CLSP)


Recommended Posts

Its difficult to get images when they nap because they 'alert' at the sign of any movement outside the tank. But I was just watching some F1 quals and noticed I had some Clowns napping. I enjoy these goof balls, one of my favorite species.

How they sleep is probably an adaptation to sleeping crevices in rocks and wood

Some times I catch one of them trying to sleep on a soft stone. Or right under it. But most of the time they take turns sleeping at the apex of the bow front. Possibly because flow is strong there. They could probably just leave their mouths open and have water rush through the gills maybe?

Maybe there like the flow over there gills when resting
