Loaches Online Forum

I quarantined a loach, it is acting like maybe dropsy, having a hard time balancing, swimming on its side, just laying on bottom, and has been hiding quite a bit last few weeks. I lessened the hideouts so I could check him out and yep, something is not right. He doesn't have a mark on him that I can...

Found the powder! got the pills first then went for the powder at tractor supply even though I called them and they said they didn't have it. The pills have to have fillers. .184 each of LH and they are HUGE. When I saw the powder I had to get it instead. PURE LH, even though the man at the feed sto...

Hi, just wanted to ask the Angelicus Loach - Kubotai Botia people here, what kind of tank mates are good with the Kubotai's? I am hearing from a couple people they can be territorial, or mean, not good with cory cats, etc. But the three I have in my cory and guppy tank are having a riot! Was possibl...

Found the pills at a local feed store. ugh & yea! .....now I have to figure out how to do the pills instead of the powder.

Ain't life grand! :lol:

Tinman, this one kiddo is very sick........ and I have piggy cory cats in my tank, big ones, and the clowns are holed out in their cave and don't come out to eat much since I scared then in trying to catch them.....so the cory cats would over dose on the parasite food, while the clowns wouldn't get ...

I am in Dallas/Ft. Worth Area. Anyone have any Levamisole Hydrochloride?

Looks like I have a skinny fish, very thin......

this may be what happened to Baby too. Worms.

I am calling some vets tomorrow.

thanks

Sorry, I was really rambling! (panicking, tired, late and rushing this morning to get to work) This poor fish, I don't know if she has been mistreated by the other new big loach or what. LFS says it wasn't a worm most likely it was probably she was constipated. Giving her antibiotics. Got her quaran...

Hi Emma, thanks. I did put antibiotic in her 10 gallon tank before leaving her this morning. for bacterial infection. I was worried about those sores near her fin and desperate to do something for her. I should have kept a better eye on her, even if she is shy......kick myself! I will check out what...

More......... Baby has a bump on her head with a white spot, and on the next stripe is another white spot (not ich) like white head maybe. and then she has those open soars where her fin connects to the body. And that bright red spot on her belly. None of the other loaches or fish appear sick. ???? ...

Okay, here are some pics of Baby. On her belly, she has a dark red circle. You can see if from these pics. A coworker suggested she had passed a parasite? Well, this think, you can see in the picture, wasn't alive. Not sure what to do, but she is in quarantine, in her little pvc pipe on her back, ga...

Hi, I have 2 4-inch clown loaches that were turnins (at different times) at the LFS. They are a good 4 inches long. Tonite I saw the newer one pushing the first big one (Baby). Literally pushing her, and she didn't resist. Physically moving her. Then he went in the PVC pipe and she is hanging out wi...

By the way, the tank is a 75 gallon tank. Bet that helps!

Hi, I was wondering how gph loaches like when using powerheads? I have a MaxiJet 1200 in the back on the side, with the head turned a little towards the glass. They often go about mid tank in the back and hang there in the current, all facing the opposite direction of the PH. I also got them a 900 a...

OMG, today is the first day I have heard my clown loaches clicking. Scared me to death. I thought something was wrong with my tank or stand!!!!! :roll: They were eating those hakari (sp?) wafers. They love them. Typically, I will go away from them when they are eating, 'cept redworms, they don't eve...

Couldn't figure out where to put the pictures.
