Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help with one of my kuhli loaches. I have a 75-gallon freshwater tank with six kuhli loaches, eight harlequin rasboras, and a bristlenose pleco. The tank has been running for about a year.
For the last three days, one of the kuhli loaches has been staying under ...

Re: Have you heard of Acantopsis dialuzona?
Not only are they kept for viewing pleasure, these loach species are also diligent "clean-up workers."

They also clean up ...

Could Flashing, Heavy Breathing, and Hiding in Yoyo Loaches Indicate Gill Flukes?
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on with a group of my Yoyo Loaches. I keep them in a grow-out system on my fish farm, and over the last few days, a handful of them have started acting differently.
They're spending most of the day tucked away instead of being out and ...

Kuhli Loach Losing Weight Even Though It Still Eats
Hi everyone,
I’m a bit worried about one of my kuhli loaches and wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar. Over the past month, one of them has gradually become much thinner than the rest of the group. The strange thing is that it still comes out for food every evening and seems ...

Re: Live plants with loaches
With weather loaches, Java Moss, Anubias, and Cryptocoryne do well. They cover wood and rocks, tolerate digging, and provide hiding spots for fish while keeping the tank ecosystem stable. Wacky Flip

White Spots on My Loaches

I’m hoping to get some guidance about my loaches. Over the past couple of days, I’ve noticed small white spots on their bodies and fins. They’ve also been acting a bit more restless than usual and occasionally rubbing against decorations.
Tank is a 120L freshwater setup, temperature 25 ...

Re: flashing question
Hi there,
My loaches never flash to get food off the bottom. Only when anything was upsetting them did they flash. The three times I can recall them flashing, it was because Ich was irritating them. spend elon musk money

The same loach displayed the same behavior yesterday during a water change, one week after I first wrote this. appeared to be chasing his tail in several ways. I'm grateful for the replies. Without a doubt, I will research LED hoods. ($$$$$) One of the two loaches has never appeared to respond to ...

Re: Water Quality tips
Even at three degrees, KH is quite steady. Just keep an eye on the water's conditions, and frequent water changes will replenish any carbonates that are lost.
The pH of my tanks is really low when the KH lowers (substrate sequesters it). stable, but only very minimally. The nitrifying bacteria are ...
