    @Alfiebadseed , lovely video. Your clowns look great and happy too!

    Thanks very much to everyone for the kind words... I must say I love them to pieces!

    @JvH .. Hahaha.. you are so right... Nope... no snails last there
    I sometimes have snails in my sump, probably because i usually put new plants in the sump until i can plant them, then i throw them in the tank and the little monsters have a feast!

    Anyone else that would like to post pictures of their clowns, you are welcome!

    Wow your clowns are very big @MariaS, very nice and healthy looking as well. I have 5 clown loaches with sizes that vary from 5cm until 9cm. When i first got them they were very active and swimming around like crazy. Then i moved them into a new bigger tank with much more ornaments including a hollow log type ornament and a big ship wreck. After that all they did was hide in the log and i barely even saw them even during feeding times.

    But as time passed they became more and more active again, it started out that they eventually came out during feeding times but any other time if they were swimming around and i went near the tank they would bolt for the log and hide. But after even more time and patience they are now swimming around much more than before and most of the time they dont bolt for the log when i go near them and during feeding times they are now insanely active and crazy haha.

    They became like this about two months ago and now the problem is that i am moving at the end of this month so that will put stress on them and i dont want them to start hiding like before once i move and setup the tank in the new house. But i guess we will see what happens.

    Anyway, will see if i have pics of them now so i can post it here, otherwise i will take pics when i get home from work.

    Thanks @WadeSmith, it is normal for them to become a bit shy after a move.
    Sometimes it happens, sometimes they ok
    I think the older they get the bolder they get but dont let it get you down

    Some bloodworms to encourage them to come out works miracles!!!
    They will be fine and soon get back to normal

    Yes.. some pictures will be nice!!

    As I love my loaces, Clown-, Pokadot-, Zebra- and Kuli's I have to share the video with you. This is my normal morning greeting from the Clowns and Polkadots. Please note the more rounded Polkadot trying to keep up with the dance moves
