Hi all so,
 
My clown loach is swimming vertically under where the water from my filter drops back into the tank doesnt seem weird until i say that it does it almost all day!!! unless i go over to the tank and then it swims away...
 
Only thing i could come up with is that she/he might be lonely because she had a friend and they always use to go everywhere together (around the tank ;)  ) until the other one died when the bushfires went through :(
 
any ideas?

Yeah, my cousin had the same thing, when their friends die they start acting weird.

His one started swimming upside down and cleaning oscars lol.

Should have more than one clown loach together in a tank mate. That might cheer it up a bit

The more loaches together the better. They love to school and search for food in a pack too
