Loaches Online Forum

Made some changes today, added a huge root and removed plants. Also added some Java fern "Windelöv" to it. I've come to the conclusion that if the name of a plant doesn't start with Java, it isn't for me. The root still floats so thats why there is a rock on it. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129...

Oh thats how an offspring of Sewellia and G. ocellatus would look like

OT here, but it is not recommended to keep these frogs with fish. One reason is that they can starve but also they're feces are high on ammonia which is not good.

I have Cherry, Crystal red shrimps and Assassin snails in my tank. There are hillstreams, Sids and Rosy loaches in there with them. The sids and rosys do eat shrimps. Sometimes you can see the whole pack of sids on a bigger shrimp and rosys prefer the smaller. The Sids seem to really enjoy this exer...

Have a safe journey!

Thanks for the info. But as you can read in the Fresh water section they also had a interesting goby and it seems like I'll be getting them.

The species profile had good info but didn't say if they like to be alone or in a group. They are available here now and I'm quite interested, just need to get as much info on them. They looks very nice on the pictures in species index.

Surprice babys are allways nice, so congrats and post pics if possible.

Agree on that. With what do you take these?

Magic.

I wouldn't use a 6 gallon tank for other than shrimps, snails or drinking. And a dwarf puffer is fish that should be kept in a group, not alone.
