Description
Half Black Angels are feisty little fish that can be great fun to keep. They are normally good feeders and are fairly hardy. Because Half Black Angels are territorial, they may not get on well with other fish of the same, or similar, species. However, they are often passive and peaceful when kept with larger or more aggressive fish. They may be bullied by such fish, so you should observe your aquarium to be sure that all fish are allowed opportunity to eat and swim in open areas. As always, hiding places should be provided.
Interestingly, the Clown Loach is sometimes referred to as a scaleless fish. But it does, in fact, have small scales embedded in its skin. For best care, feed the Clown Loach small meals several times throughout the day. Younger Clown Loaches will eat most prepared foods while older ones may be more finicky. Prepared foods such as vegetable flakes or tablets along with meaty supplements such as live, frozen, or freeze-dried worms will provide this species with the proper nutrition.
