k so i've never seen this behavior in my clown loaches, or clown loaches in general for that matter. But today right after feeding, I noticed the largest of my four clown loaches chasing and picking on one of my tiger barbs. I was intrigued, and watched as he chased the other clown loaches, my pleco, and tried to catch one of my gourami's....he did this for about 5 minutes, and now is just chillin. Ever heard of this type of aggressive behavior in clown loaches????

This may or may not be related, but i've been thinking possible I haven't been feeding them enough, which may lead to this behavior. I have 2 blue gourami's (about 3 inches) 8 tiger barbs (all about 1.5 inches) 4 clown loaches (4", 4", 5", 6.5") and a pleco (about 5"). I feed then bloodworms daily, four of the little inch by inch cubes (the frozen San Francisco brand) Is tis enough you think? They eat it up QUICK.

Thanks in advance for help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
