Loaches Online Forum

Well, I had been catching babies with a turkey baster. Had them in a jar in their parents tank, changing water daily with pippet, feeding, etc, and killed about half of them somehow. So I tipped them back out into the tank lol. I imagine they've been eating the film on the glass instead of the baby ...

ONE LOACH CAUGHT! Common lad, be social and go visit your mate!

and as soon as it went in, I caught a ABN *head desk*

I made one using a fish bag instead of cardboard, set in the tank and bated with tubiflex cubes. Hopefully come morning the two loaches can go join their mates upstairs!

Hi - long time no see guys! how have you all been?? Bad news is Squishy died a year or so back - still slightly deformed but had years of love and wormyfoods. His buddies have moved into my 6.5x2x2 foot display tank and harass my cats ;) Good news is, I got them some friends who I've been growing ou...

you have to add new tank water every few days to make sure there is enough for the algea to "eat" and grow

sorry for so long without updates. the fish with the clamped fins died, but the other one is doing fine and his fins have regrown. not the same colour or size, but he is back in the main tank and doing great

haha I just watched Star Trek. We could get them little uniforms and everything lol.

I will have to see if I can get a ride down there. What do you think? I've got a 78x24x24 inch tank and 6 other large loaches they can live with.

I can probably meet you half way? We are in Cumbria. I may be able to get all the way to you though, meeting half way would be easier on the fish though.

thanks I am getting good at the albinos as they lay in large clutches, the pandas however will do one here, one there, one over there and so on, so they are very easy to miss. Hatching is also a little different I have found. Hopefully they will breed again soon and I will be sorted

yes, 8 pandas, sorry :P the tank is a bit manky, I am more worried that they will eat the eggs before I even see them. Tomorrow is cleaning and water day so that should set them off and its wait and see. I think they would have eaten them the first time if anything. I remove all the eggs and hatch t...

bugger that means someone has to move, and both are touchy fish to move! Just my luck!

Who do you think would be easiest to move, the pandas or the loaches?

I have 2 of these: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/gastromyzon-ctenocephalus and some panda corys (about 8) in a 3 foot tank with cool water, big filter and powerheads on one side with slimy rocks for the hillies with lots of o2 so its a half river tank half still tank, the hillies hang out in ...
