Chain Loach

[anaconda]

Extract from a site Loaches Online on Botia Dario or Bengali Loach (http://www.loaches.com/species_pages/botia_dario.html)

"Bengals are very social loaches, and physical with one another to the point of jostling and frequent nipping. They will tussle over food and hiding spots, but they don't injure one another. When offered Hikari sinking wafers - either the carnivore ones or the algae wafers - they will actually drag the wafers off in their mouths, and snap at the others if they come too close. In this way, they behave remarkably like dogs: food is paramount."

Wont this like mean they might nip during feeding? According to Loaches Online they are territorial
