We learned an expensive lesson about Clown Loaches.  They are dumb and they go everywhere.  This weekend, one of the larger clown loach went through one of the holes exiting our castle decoration.  The sharp edges cut the clown loach and it was dead by the morning. 

I spent the most of Sunday morning removing the castle and rearranging the tank.   In place of the castle was a Pagoda with tiny holes for windows.  Again, one of the loaches got inside and could not come out.  I took the Pagoda out but the loach had already badly cut and bruised its nose.  Now, there are no building decorations. 

We also got some of this Golden Gouramis.  They told us that it was a community fish.  It is interesting to see the change of behaviours in the tank as four of these big golden gouramis wnter the tank.  The minows, which were the most aggressive, now swim in a school rather than all over the place.
