Connor and his loach

When I was taking pictures of my aquarium a few nights ago, I took a video of Connor and his big weather loach. I have been trying to post it ever since and been very frustrated with problem after problem (it is my first video). I finally changed computers and so far so good. Anyway back to the fish. Weather loaches are way cooler than his goldfish. They are called that because they go frenetic when the weather changes (like when a thunderstorm is coming). They are also very friendly. This one comes up for petting (or maybe to pet) and nibbles on Connor's hand. When we first got them they were 2 - 3 inches long. This one has more than doubled in size and circumference. Despite his size he can disappear in the aquarium. They like to burrow in sand but this aquarium has a gravel bottom. There are a few decorations - a "crashed car" and a sculpture but they don't appear big enough for 2 loaches and a pleco to hide in. Hope you enjoy the video and it's not too dark.

Who would have thought a fish would come around and play for the camera!! Okay, maybe he wasn't aware of the camera, but to be curious enough to come around hands. Cool.

That's pretty cool that he is so friendly. Almost like a dog but without all the work.
