Clown loaches in Quincy, Illinois
Is there anybody near Quincy, Illinois, USA, looking for more clown loaches? I'm considering letting mine go to somebody with a larger tank. I have 5 happy and healthy clown loaches that are 3 or 4 years old now and about 6 inches long (on average). The plan was always to get (or build) a 6 or 8 foo...

Using salt
ChefKeith- Your loachy method of adding and removing salt (slowly over time) seems like it would just be common sense to people, but I hear so many horror stories from others that I guess it needs to be spelled out like that. I'll throw my hand up as one who treated ich quite successfully with salt ...

I tried to figure out how many cubic inches my clown loaches were, but I couldn't put them together again. Any advice?

I will not believe that salt at that low of a level killed any of your fish. By the time I had treated my 5 clown loaches, 21 neon tetra and 8 swordtails at 2 teaspoons per gallon for 12 days and then began reducing the salt concentration through 30% water changes my aquarium ended up being at YOUR ...

This is how I understand it: When the parasites fall off the fish they are alive and they go to live in the substrate. There they multiply into hundreds of free swimmers each. When they mature in the gravel, hatch open, and release their free-swimmers--trying to find a fishy host again--that is the ...

I am not arguing with you, but I do want to clarify something. When you emphasize normal dose do you mean normal LOACH dose, or just normal dose for freshwater tropical fish in general? I have seen very good articles stating that anywhere from 1 to 3 teaspoons per gallon is the accepted normal dose ...

I see that no one except me has chimed in to say that my salt level of 2 teaspoons per gallon was safe for loaches, so perhaps it was "too high." However I found myself in a situation like yours...the fish had so many ich parasites that they were at risk of death within the week. I also knew that it...

I successfully treated my 5 clown loaches with 2 teaspoons per gallon of salt for a 14 day period and they seemed happy as ever, especially after the 3rd day when all the ich parasites fell off their bodies. I added 3 cups to a 75 gallon tank. I also charted the salt level remaining for the next 10 ...
