Loaches Online Forum

Do you have any other loaches besides Clown loaches?

Just the five clown loaches.

I keep African cichlids. Lake Malwai Hapochromine and Aulonocara and Lake Tanganyikan tropheus, shellies and cyprichromis, and one wild caught goby. :)

The clown loaches are in a 120g tank with adult ...

I'll try to provide.

Thanks for all the nice comments about the photography. :)

But back to those little dots on the loaches head. I shot this closeup this morning. That makes four days after the original comotion. The patterned markings are still on this fish.

the first post contains a link to a thread posted at WaterWolves by pintius.

Very interesting read.

Frankly, I'm not interested in breeding my fish ...

Can I ask what brand and model camera is that? Or is it just superhuman skill?


Thanks. I would like to think that the photographer has more to do with good captures than the equipment. :wink:

Nikon D70 DSLR with Nikkor 60mm f/2.8d micro lens, and Nikon SB800 speedflashes used above the tank ...

Do you have any larger res shots of this fish's face? Also, had you just done a large water change, or were any of your cichlids breeding, by any chance? Had you fed live foods over the last week or so?



Last water changes were last Friday. The Malawi cichlids are all males. I only feed them ...

...and I would like to share this thread I posted on another forum.

These are my clown loaches behaving very unusual:
