Loaches Online Forum

Hello
please can anyone advise where to advertise my 5 chains for rehoming. I will want them (desperately!) to go to a good (loach enthusiast) home, or I fear I will change my mind (as I have done many times over already- sorry Ashleigh!)
There are 3 male and 2 fatty females. All aged between 8&10 ...

Hi there everyone
It is with great distress that I have reluctantly decided to sell my whole set up and loaches.

I would love it if I could ensure the loaches go to a good home, one where other loaches preside!

I have a very long list of equipment and fish tanks that I will need to sell also.

I ...

Thank you Nicki. I have sent you a pm.

(I also have 1, very precious to me, Epalzeorhynchus sp. and 1 Corydoras Trilineatus and 4 Devario aequipinnatus that would need a new home)

Would anyone be able to offer my loaches (or all of the fish above) a good 'loach enthusiast' home?

I have unfortunately had to forfeit (store away) my 4ft ...

Sorry for the confusion Jim. I guess what I am trying to ask is - I have an external filter to begin with with it's 1300lph capability - is it enough as it is? And if not, what else will I need to create adequate 'river flow accomodation' for hillies? Another of the same and....?

Thanks

Thank you!

I would ideally have my tank set up in a 'river flow' way - my tank is 4ftx2ftx2ft But they would be in the aforementioned 4ft tank with 1300lph external filter. Good enough? Or re-think?

Thank you all for your time.

I would love to get some hillstream loaches, but only have 1300lph external filter.

Am I right in remembering they need 2000lph minimum???

Any info gratefully recvd.

Thank you very much :)
Shame, the pics did originally come out very well, but once processed through photobucket. it has not done them justice :(

Thank you though. Lovely to have some feedback.

Hope these come out ok, I think Photobucket is cropping them off on the rhs

Thanks for looking!

Thank you to peeps who have helped me decide what to do with the new tank set up.

I did not get Denison's barbs in the end, but am building up numbers of all my existing fish - especially the pygmy cories :)

It is however a slow process due to cost. I was disappointed when I went to my local 'fish ...

I would not go lid-less on this tank, even with the water a bit lower.

With your current list, I think there is room for Denison's Barbs. They might play around with the Danios: Both are active, fast moving fish that will zip from one end to the other in this tank.

What is the actual species of ...

I am about to move my fish from a 2.5ft tank to a 4ft tank.

The 4ft tank has been used for my terrapins and they have the clearseal open tank.

The terrapins have been using the Fluval 405 external filter and I intend to use this for the fish(emptied and cleaned thoroughly first - with new filter ...

Thank you everyone for your advice :D

yes, I feared the little guys of the tank would be compromised if I got the barbs. hmm.

The 4ft tank currently has an external fluval 405 would this provide adequate aeration for the barbs, with 1300lph?

I could always increase the number of dwarf corys to ...

Hello
I have recently decided to re-home my terrapins that are currently in a 4ft clearseal tank. (The re-homing of the terrapins takes some explaining - I have put up a post on RFUK about them. If anyone on here has any connections please contact me - 2 male ouachita terrapins)

The reason I am ...

48 x 12 x 15 inches is pretty close to 38 American gallons. A full tank, with substrate, stand, and equipment can roughly be figured at 10 lbs per (American) gallon, so call it 380 lbs.

122 x 30 x 38 cm = 139 liters.
Yes, water weighs 1 kg per liter, and you should multiply that by roughly 1.2 ...
