Loach being aggressive I think.

I have a small clown loach that's being aggressive to other fish. Or at least I think it's aggressive, honestly it's hard to tell. I thought clowns were very peaceful loaches? That's why I chose clowns rather than some of the more boisterous loaches. Can anyone give me any insight to this?

That's strange - like you said, clowns are usually a pretty peaceful fish. Boisterous, yes, but not aggressive usually... How big is it?

I think you should change a new smaller loach or upgrade your tank, I think a new can relieve the aggressiveness of loach.

Do you have more clowns? Clowns (most loaches really) like to be in groups of 6+ and this helps reduce boisterous or aggressive behavior towards other fish.

My loach is probably the cool fish among all my other fish. He is very peaceful and just likes to dig his head to the gravel for loose food. He also seems like to swim up down the sides of the aquarium. I am definitely going to add another loach so he can have a mate, even though he seems to be buddy with my red tail shark.
