Squishy eh?

Nice yoyos, Mad Duff.

I mixed my dojo and kuhlis with canas of all ages from hatchlings to adults. None were eaten at all.

Senegal bichir. I'm not mistaken with the body shape.

The loaches may be hiding inside decors which explains their absence.

No, it's not. First of all, crushed corals appear too rough for the clown loaches to be used as a substrate. Second, it has calcium carbonate that will increase the pH and KH of the water chemistry which the clown loaches may not be able to tolerate long-term even if they are able to adapt to it ...

Wow!:shock:

Actually they are. I trust Piggy to suggest them. My Crossocheilus siamensis often roam around the surface and middle levels waiting for me to feed them.

I wonder why my Syncrossus helodes seem to pester only themselves despite being mixed with the Y. modesta and several barbs. Nasty brats though the way they bite your hand when you wave around frozen foods.lol

Emma, doesn't this article need editing on the Breeding slot?

Congrats, Mad Duff! You have a magic for being able to spawn loaches.

We have a database for this one.

I can still remember some of your hillstream loaches are possibly Gastromyzon ctenocephalus and Gastromyzon scitulus, Ed.

This is covered here.

You crack me up, Sally.

Neat!

There wasn't a reason to dye these fish. I wonder why some people are still not satisfied with their natural beauty.
