Loaches Online Forum

Variations in the patterns on the Level Devil - NOT A Troll Game fish's body (especially in juveniles, there is often a clear "YO-YO" pattern, which fades into complex mesh patterns as they grow) How should this fish be kept so that they reproduce well? Anyone who knows, please tell me!

Thanks for sharing this—really interesting read! Always love hearing about other hobbyists’ experiences with loaches. Their behavior is so unique and full of personality. Have you notice Retro Bowl any changes in their habits over time or with different tank mates?

I would think the extra space in the 1704 liter tank could help mitigate the angelfish being bothered by the loaches. And with that out of the way, I know of nothing in particular preventing them getting along. Speed Stars With regards to yoyos and clowns, although I don't have enough experience wi...

I asked this of a shop keeper who was trying to sell me some new media with some ridiculously high surface area, and it stumped him - so I'm tossing it out here. The selling point on a lot of biological media is surface area - X has more surface area than Y, so you get better bio-filtration. My que...

It's great to see someone as dedicated as you are to Retro Bowl creating a suitable environment for their clown loaches! The filtration system with 2 FX5s and powerheads in the 400L tank is definitely providing a steady flow and ideal environment for the fish.

Make sure you are performing regular water changes (e.g. 25-30% weekly) and Speed Stars checking water parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and temperature. Clownfish are very sensitive to poor water quality.

The Escape Road City White Spotted Reticulated Hillstream Loach is truly beautiful and striking! The coloration definitely adds interest to the aquarium. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of these fish and how to care for them to keep their colors vibrant for a long time.

Wow, seeing the possibility of Sewellia 'Spotted' appearing in World Guesser LFS is exciting! If so, this is great news for those who love cleaner fish and unique fish species. Hopefully, there will be clearer pictures and more detailed information about this fish's origin and breeding conditions so...

This striking little fish, native to fast-flowing hill streams of Mya...

Wow! My six Clown Loaches have made it to 30 years of age! Escape Road I joined Loaches Online Forum on Dec 26, 2010 and back then I didn't know if my Clown Loaches would even make it to 20 years of age as one of the established members here lost their old Clown Loach which was 19 years of age. But...

That's an interesting observation! I hadn't thought about loaches in terms of their oil content. Is there anything specific that sparked your comment? Are you thinking about their dietary needs or perhaps their texture when prepared as food? Curve Rush

I wanted to share my little kuhli loach identification project here on the forums. This is specifically on the species pangio anguillaris (eel kuhli loach), pangio cf. anguillaris (brown eel loach) and pangio doriae (golden eel loach). I hope it helps people! Personally I have been frustrated due t...

I'm seeking baby clown loaches. Do you have any recommendations on where I can purchase them?

The 10x filtration rule for hillstream loaches is based on the need for high water flow rates to simulate their natural environment and ensure optimal health and well-being. While it is not a hard and fast rule, io games it provides a guideline for maintaining the conditions that hillstream loaches ...
