I added a heater into the tank, but i'm still a little hesitant to do water change even a little as the water is quiote cold :( its been raining 3 days non stop ...

Just lost 3 pcs of my big clown loaches a few days ago. I was not able to pinpount the problem. tested and no ammonia, PH is a bit highh at 8. I'm not sure what happened, during the weekend i was not able to check on them, I have 10 pieces in my 300 gallon with some arowanas, what happened before wa...

Just lost one to my crossback arowana really disappointed , cant get much info regarding them . Can they be mixed with clown loaches? Will they be able to compete for food?

I've also had clowns kill my prized Datnoid :( the datnoid was a little smaller than the clowns, and everytime i feed him the clowns also went after him. I found my datnoid's side injured and I'm thinking the clowns could be the culprits, or my flagtail which was really big but it'll have a hard tim...

thanks So far have not seen them out
mine are currently about 7-8 inches with one 4 incher.

Yup I think theyre also called royal clown loach or imperial flower loach?

Need advise with my imperial loaches. They are currently in a 150 Gallon with a 22 inch arowana and a 5 inch Datnoid. So far they have been with me for a week or 2 i think? But i have not seen them out of their hiding place yet, also have not seen them eat? I keep the lights off except for an led mo...

up up anybody has had imperial clown loaches? So far i have not seen them since i bought them, they are just hiding in the PVC pipe i provided , also not sure if they are feeding :( I just drop some small shrimps into the tank, but i have an arowana and a datnoid. so not sure if its them who's eatin...

Sounds like an incredible setup, but that is decent fish load, even for such a large tank. However, if your water chemistry is good and your fish are getting along with each other, they should be fine. Ph and nitrates are the two things I tend to watch the most when I'm concerned about excessive bi...

300 gallons is more than adequate for 10 clown loaches, I suggest not separating them. If you do have to separate them, they should be okay as two groups of 5, but they would definitely be better off if they can be left as one large group. What is causing you to think your tank is overloaded? thank...

I currently have 10 pcs clown loaches ranging from 5-8 inches. Would it have negative effect on them if I were to separate the group into 5 pcs each? All are currently in one of my 300 gallon tank. But I'm a little worried about the bio load of that tank. Planning to move 5 to my other tank. Any wor...

Got 4 of them. Here's a picture of my smallest and biggest one

thanks I have a 300 and 350 Gallon tank
read that they do well in wide range of temperature?

Any Royal Clown loach keepers here?
I'm planning to get 2-3 pieces of Royal clown loach this weekend.
They'll be going into my 150 Gallon tank with my 22 inch arowana.
Would appreciate care tips
Also do thye have spikes like clown loaches ?
Also will they get along with clown loaches?

thanks :) So far looking at them, they seeem to be showing no signs of stress, they look ok. quite active and still eating. i treated with Ocean free yellow powder. its an antibiotics for my arowanas. Too bad i cant catche them in my sump to transfer them. but hopefully they pull thru. I'll have to ...
