Loaches Online Forum

Oh wow!!!! My Loaches eat Discus flakes, Discus Pellets. Bloodworms,brownworms, Beefheart and algae pellets. Since they started sharing their tank with the Discus the Loaches have gotten bolder,bigger and much prettier.

Since it`s my 4" ones that have it i`m calling it "Teenage pimples" I`m not worried over it,I think it`s just something some get and others don`t. My son has freckles but his sisteer doesn`t. My son`s freckles show more in the summer.

Thanks Emma , i`ll check it out.

Hi MaryJ, yes a few people have reported these freckles on their Clowns in the past. It just seems to be concentrations of melanophores within the skin. Maybe your lights are too bright and they need sunblock? :wink: Martin. :lol: That was so cute. Thanks for the early morning laugh. It cheered me ...

I`ve never noticed before but 2 of my 4" Clown Loaches have black freckles from their nose to their dorsel.

I have a 125 with 5 Clown Loaches from 3 1/2 "- about 7 1/2". I`m getting 4 Discus in July or August can I raise the Clowns temp over the next 2 months from 78f-84f? Would this be too high to keep the Clowns water?

I heard a dab of aquarium glue make Clown pics easy to get.

My Severum has a fungus on his pectoral fins from squeezing in and under driftwood. I have Clown Loaches Na Brochis in the tank with him. Can I safely use aquarium salt and not harm my scaleless pals?All I have on hand is Dr. Wellfish`s salt and Jungle Fungus Clear. I was hopeing one of these would ...

My dear Dojo died today after a long time of suffering. His Dojo friends and I will miss him.

Thanks bunches Martin,i`ll be watching for it.

All of my bottom dwellers love the cichlid crumbles too. They also love the pellets I got on www.aquabid.com sold by Unclerick. My fish go in a frenzie when I feed Rick`s pellets.
