Live Plant Journal - Part 11

By Shirlie Sharpe, About.com

Hello to you all~
Well I took Shirlie's advice on buying a clown loach. I was surprised at how neat looking they are and the color is perfect for my tank as well. They are just a bit pricey compared to my other fish but I think he will be well worth it.

My only real concern is that he does not uproot my lovely plants as Shirlie has informed me that any active bottom dweller is something of a headache with live plants. But I'll watch him close and if he bothers my plants I'll tap him on the nose with a newspaper. That is how you train a dog and so it may work on a loach - what do you all think?

I'll keep you all up~to~date on how this progresses.
Here's hoping you all have a great week,
Sheila
