Loaches Online Forum

Pictures of the eggs are not possible with my equiptment. Sorry. :oops: What little I did save are scrattered in a 10gal. with gravel and I can not even find them! Eggs are not the big deal anyway, it's what comes out of them? Some of the pictures on this site are so amazing I don't know if the ones...

To Ken, please understand that it was not my intention to have a tropical tank combined with goldfish. She just got too big for any other tank I currently have to use. There seams to be quite a bond between her and my other large loaches oddly enough. I think until about 2 months ago she thought she...

Thanks for posting about your experiences of fish(s) getting in trouble. To dlenn, and JWhipple, I'm very sorry for your loss. :cry: Especially after you went through the trouble to actually build some protection for him(her)! I would think that trying to back up whle stuck (if far in enough) would ...

Yes, that's an ordinary .10 feeder goldfish! My daughter had asked me to buy some for her tank (my old 30gal.) and then wanted me to see if I could grow one bigger in my big tank (now she wants me to grow all her fish and put them back in the 30gal. I finally convinced her putting some 14in. fish in...

Darn! :x Just happen to notice right before the lights went out in my tank (on timer), I saw my 3 largest male yoyo's causing quite a commotion in the back of my tank close to a piece of wood. I've seen 2 yoyo's battleing (play fighting for dominance), but never 3 at once. While watching this action...

Here's some pics of my fish http://www.loachtank.org//albums/userpics/10140/normal_group2~0.jpg http://www.loachtank.org//albums/userpics/10140/normal_group1~0.jpg http://www.loachtank.org//albums/userpics/10140/normal_clown1~0.jpg http://www.loachtank.org//albums/userpics/10140/normal_group3~0.jpg ...

Just thought I'd relate a story about an emergency save I've had to preform 3 times involveing tank decorations. I bought a fake plastic tree stump that had many holes of various sizes for fish to swim through. One day when I got home and checked on my fish I was shocked to find my largest yoyo stuc...

Thanks again too all the people that gave me advice on my pregnant yoyo. It seams everyone says that I needed a male to be with the egg laying process to fertilize them. I'm sure that is true but there is a small problem with the male selection. Some months ago I had tried to split up some of the yo...

Hey fellow loach lovers. Update on my pregnant yoyo. Last night I had moved my special female over to a separate tank so possibly her eggs would not turn into clown caviar (or yoyo caviar}. I knew that this tank (a 10gal.) was a bit small but I had to try. Luckily I sleep close to these tanks and at...

Agonized :( all day about moving my pregnant yoyo to a seprate tank. She is definitely too large for the only tank I have to use, a 10gal. As to the fact that today she is allready smaller that yesterday I can only assume that egg layin has begun. So without anymore delay I moved her over, by hersel...

Thanks for the info Mad Duff. I am going to set up a 10gal tank to move my female to so maybe the eggs will have a chance from all the other loaches not to be yummie snack food. I'll let everyone know how things turn out! :) To Shari2 my tank is 150gal. started in a 10gal, 3 months later went to a 3...
