kim Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 WHAT TESTER HAVE YOU GOT , BECAUSE MOST TESTERS COME UP CLEAR IF YOU DONT HAVE AMMONIA! whats the temp? check for white spots, also clown loaches are called clowns bacause thats what they do, i often have them play dead in my tank or 5 or 6 on top of each other so just keep an eye on him but he can clown around because thats what he does best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Why use ammolock if you don't have ammonia? Why use it at all for that matter? I understood that stuff mucked up test results. Clowns like good water quality but it may be just one clown with a problem and not the whole tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
