Loaches Online Forum

Thank you for the comments. I do like loaches with unusual pattern but of course not tank raised ones and definitely not cz fishes (for many reasons). I presume you like oddball markings just not the artifically produced ones by cz but perhaps i misread your statement. I generally avoid external sit...

Most of my clown loaches have the typical 3 stripes but one group (either 2 or 3) (i have 13 total in a 550) has this unusual marking: Hum - can't attach picture here - it has a large black mark between the 2nd and 3rd stripe - what i don't know is if that signals a different catch location (I think...

I think 4 or 5 species are commonly sold as pangio kuhli with the most common being semicincta; the fish in the last picture looks like a semincincta. The first picture might be a true kuhli or who knows. I had one pangio that had diamond shape stripes - we very unusual and pretty but no clue on exa...

Regardless of the other stocking i will only have 10 clown loaches in that space (1 ft per loach so if they g...

In the 120 I've not observed any issues with the clown and angels and the angels can raise free swimming frys without too much issue (they have more problems with other angels sn...

I currently have a 120 with 6 clown loaches, 10 zebra loaches, 2 yoyo (long story i know i need more), 7 angelfishes and 5 pleco (l204 and bn). The tank has been setup for 30 months. I realize that it is a bit over crowded and i do suitable water changes to keep the nitrate controlled. In a bit unde...
