I have a couple of Clown Loaches that have been behaving normally until recently. They both developed spots which, I'm not sure if it's ICK or not. I understand they are very prone to ICK.

I wanted to catch them to transfer them to a 10 gal. hospital tank to treat them with Quick Cure. I caught the first one but could not find the other. Then I found that he had buried himself in a hole in one of my rocks. I had to take the rock (size of grapefruit) out of the tank and I could just barely pinch the tip of his tail and pull him out. It felt like I had to rip him out of the hole, but appears to be ok.

After being in the new tank for about an hour, I found him buried in the gravel with just his tail sticking out. Do Clown Loaches love to bury themselves or is he acting strange because of the possible ICK?
