Loaches Online Forum

Thanks!

The horsehead has a friend, and is a lot fatter and darker coloured now.

The kuhlies are absolutly great!
Especially after the fast-day, dropping a feedingtablet in it after that resembles a big ball of squirmy worms, so funny!

Isn't that made of cardboard (in Holland it is...)
Putting that in your filter will make a right old mess if you ask me.

I think its pretty normal to see them chasing each other.
They are pretty territorial when it comes tot their favorite rock.
But don't worry they won't hurt/kill each other.

Everybody, thanks alot for all the positive comments. And especially for Donna: http://lh5.ggpht.com/__5ixipS42do/SY8uOOQZQCI/AAAAAAAAAXM/nmPU_cxZ3nU/s640/Zwarte%20modderkruiper%202.JPG http://lh4.ggpht.com/__5ixipS42do/ScaapdCoeII/AAAAAAAAA4w/wJl86gHAJO8/s640/DSC01442.JPG Can you spot the shocked g...

Fine, rough gravel (not the rounded stuff) should work, not as good as pourpose made media, but a lot cheaper.
You should use more than you would usually use.

Ah, thanks for the nice comments. Keith, I have 6 striata's fooling around in there. The wood on the left is 2 pieces, the bottom one covered is anubias is completly hollow, it makes a brilliant cave for the loricarids. Beta, yes its really javamoss, it just looks like crap at the moment. I feed my ...

My 2 garras fight every now and then.

It goes pretty hard sometimes, but i've never seen damage on either one.
At most other times they get on fine.
(I mean isn't it normal to pick on your smaller brother )

So I think its pretty normal.

HEE!!!

I didn't want to flush it down the drain or fry it!

I just had to get rid of it before it killed of all my fan shrimp.

Fun aren't they!

I have 2 of the little buggers (had 3. 1 didn't suvive the first week)
They used to pick on a big Labeo Bicolor, fearless they definitley are.

Now I don't have a labeo anymore, so now they tease everyone else around.
Always first to eat, there great!

Adding a serious amount of plants will probably help with water quality. It also gives fish more places to hide, perhaps they will chomp each other a little less if the can hide more..... My tank is also overcrowded, but with 2 oversized filters and more plants then you can wave a stick at, it all s...

I give my Kuhlii's freese dried krill (1cm shrimp) every now and then, they absolutly go bonkers over them!

Brine shrimp, dapnia work pretty wel to.

I have not had the chance to give them live shrimp.
(I keep live shrimp, it woudn't work if I fed those now would it)

Hello, My name is Ferry. I'm new to keeping Loaches, well I've had Loaches for half a year now and only now do I see there special care.... I have a 100*40*45cm. tank with B. Striata, P.

Such nice fish!

I have just 2 of them, but they are some off my favourites.

How is it that you can take pictures of them during de daytime?
Mine only come out at night (led-nightlight is great )

Should I get some more to see them more??
