Loaches Online Forum

Since we were unsure of what to do, we decided to try the triple sulfa. So far, since treatment, our baby has been swimming normally, no more spinning, circling, flopping. He, however, tends to flop over on his side when he 'lands' on the sand. So, in a nutshell, some things have improved, others no...

I thought I would share a few pics of some of our awesome loaches!
