My 65g has been established for 3 months or so, naturally my five loaches have a distinct eating order, with the largest (female I'm assuming) eating first...However, when I fed them krill today, two of the other bigger loaches decided they ain't taking any more orders from her...A vicious battle ensued...

How it started...All three fighting, she's in the middle:


Another of them fighting, she's on the far left:


One of them decided he has had enough:


Here he is eating a piece of krill alone:


The remaining one continued in his fruitless coup:


Needless to say he lost and left, leaving the female for one last victory pose:


And that's why I love clown loaches :P

Thats what i call jousting loaches they do that from time to time.

nice loaches, did you buy them small because over here they cost quite a bit for that size

Yea, they were pretty small when I got them. Grew substantively over the last couple of months
