Loaches Online Forum

Sorry for the quality of the picture, really need to clean the outside of the glass. This is a picture that was taken yesterday of one of my clowns that has decided that it likes to relax on one of the filter intakes.

Mine have Moss over them. Just decorative for us and fish of course. :wink:

Same here.

I take them and mix them in the blender with raw fish, usually rainbow trout, some veggie flakes and vitamins. They love it and it is great for them.

As mentioned is isn't but one thing I have noticed is the one I had become best buds with my 11 clown and I starting noticing not only has he swimming with theme but started to mimic them.

Very nice and as mentioned very addictive. I started with 3 and have almost a dozen now!!

While in the past I have had groups of oto's with my clowns, I agree with other that you might be better off with something like a bushynose pleco and some SAE's.

Lots of info about the Omega One product line.

www.nlpublish.com
is the site listed on the New Life Spectrum foods that I have. I have not gone there to see what the site offers.

Agree with the NLS, mine go crazy over it.

Very cool, I will have to keep my eyes open for them and give them a try. I currently feed mine a mix of NLS, frozen peas, and a homemade mix of shrimp, muscles, seaweed, beef heart and liquid vitamins.

I have 11 clowns and 3-4 SAE in the same tank and the SAE's were about that size when I introduced them into the tank with clowns about the same size as yours and had no issues.

I had something like that at one point and it went very well no real fighting or anything.

Were these all bought at the same time, from the same batch?

To me, it looks like you have B. histrionica and B. almorhae. See what everyone else thinks.

Totally agree.

Ya sorry Kubotai.

They were not that small when I got them but I am guessing they got sucked into the intake. On my fry tanks I have sponges of the intakes but now I guess I will add them to the filters in the community tanks.

Decided to clean my large Eheim today and what do I find inside? Two marble loaches and 4 young kribs!! I got these loaches as a group of 6 on sale on boxing day. I noticed about 2-3 weeks later I was down to four and thought that 2 had died and been eaten by the other fish in the community tank. To ...

Like Shari spotted 2 & 4 are the same fish as are 1 & 3, I actually got these two fish at the same time and the fish that is in 2 & 4 is always on the go swimming with my biggest Clown and the dorsal was only down like that in that shot, usually it nigh on up.

I don't think I will be getting the ...
