Loaches Online Forum

craigslist is world wide actually. or so it seems that way when you take a look at the site. don't buy anything under 100g if you plan on keeping clowns or larger loaches as like grow pretty big and like lots of space. i bought my 125g on craiglist for $150 US. just shop around and keep searching be...

nice looking clowns. don't you think you would feel a little cramped in a box that was 4x2x2?

Great work Martin! Happy Halloween!

amazing pic there. may i ask what camera you used to take this magnifiscent shot. Guess i just did! thanks for sharing.

I would beg you not to put clown loaches in a 30g tank. Maybe for a q tank, but not for a display tank. They actually will outgrow the tank quite quickly and will need a lot more room and hiding spots. Save your time and money and wait for something larger. Hopefully, you will heed the advice of the...

How many clown loaches do you have? Could be an issue if you have less than 5. The more the merrier applies to fish as well. Do the other fish have any cover? How big is your tank? Under 40g for loaches, especially clowns, could cause a lot of problems. More info on your tank is needed before anyone...

You definately need to add some kind of caves and cover for the clowns. They like to hide during the day and are a mainly nocturnal fish. Look at other members tanks to get some ideas.

That's an amazing vid of you feeding your cl's. How did you train them to eat from your hand? Did you just try it one day? Mine are kind of shy so I don't think they'll go for it. Even with the tempting bloodworms. Watch your fingers!!!

First off, that's a great video. I too love my clown loaches and am in the process of setting up a new home (150g) to house a bigger family of them. For being new clown loaches they seem rather larger than what I've seen. Great find on them. I have to get all my fish from either Petsmart of Petco. I...

Great to hear. I know I'll be buying a few more of these guys once I get the new tank set up. I can't wait to finally have the tank I've always wanted up and running!

hi wayne. thanks for the reply. yea mine are really active. they're only a little more than an inch long, but are really social fish. I love these little fellas and plan on getting more once I get my 150g tank setup. That's if the snow will quit falling so I can get outside and do some work on the t...

Hey all. Just when to the LFS and found these little guys. Didn't even know they stocked different kinds of loaches in these parts. My first time housing yoyos so maybe some advice is in order. I picked up three of these guys. Sorry the pics look like crap. They're the best I could get. I'm shooting...

I absolutely love what you've done there. Simplistic setup, but the aquascaping is wonderfully natural looking. I like those bamboo posts in there also. Nice little caves for loaches to sleep in. I'm looking to get a bigger tank (125g) and was worried about having to get an expensive stand for it, b...

Hope you all like. 40G tank. 4 Clown Loaches about 3 inches/5 Green Cory Catfish/ 3 Red-Eyed Tetras. I know I need a bigger tank. Saving up for a 120g. Gonna take a while for that one. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l267/chelms166/IMG_0977.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l267/chelms166/IMG_...
