British fishkeeper spawns Clown loach

See the article on the Practical Fishkeeping website.

The eggs were not fertile, but it is still an accomplishment.

Very interesting article. I notice he's hoping some of the eggs are fertile. That'd be awesome. If not, if he's succeeded in getting them to spawn once, maybe he can again... and hopefully resulting in fertile eggs.

Thanks for posting the link.

Wow, what a great article! Thanks for posting, as Jay said here's hoping some are fertile.

I think later down in the comments it mentioned that the batch wasn't any good. Regardless, it's hard to even get them to spawn in the aquarium.

Thanks, I must have missed that. But simply spawning is an excellent first step.:thumbup:

I've always loved clown loaches, but I've never had a tank big enough to house them. Too many fish, too few tanks!

I like what he said the fish don't read the same books we do:laugh: . VERY true!!!
