Loaches Online Forum

Just a update...
I got the med, today and have added to the tank.
I also added to the Oscar tank, even though the CL`s look good in there.
Thought it was best to give it to them.
I sure hope this work`s, I really don`t want to lose another CL.
Again Thank`s Mick....

love it how they sleep like that...
Nice healthy looking CL`s.

Thank you Mick.. Isn't good to be well on are way in life. :D So I take it I can use the full dose on the CL`s... I will be using it on all my fish as well. Iam not one to jump into med`s at the first sign of a problem, I believe that clean water and a good balance diet keep your fish healthy. I kno...

Mick only with garlic....I believe it`s a natural way of getting reed of parasites. and to bust there immune system, and to simulate them to feed. Also forgot to add. :roll: ( where`s my brain ) That my one Oscar is on a trip and is after the other most the time, for the last few month`s....no damag...

The Anubias sp I had, the Cl`s punched hole`s in and killed the flower`s, to the point where I had to put them in another tank. :roll: So I now have only Java fern in there tank..... Just because I wanted a tank with a clean look, and now I don`t have to un-clog the intake`s all the time. :) Good lu...

Welcome Shadowsong.. As for plant`s :lol: CL`s are very good at destroying them just for fun.. If I was you I would try for: Java Moss (Vesicularia dubyana) Brown Wendtii Crypt (Cryptocoryne wendtii) or the green. Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus) There all low light plant`s and the CL`s seem to leve ...

Very nice setup.

Yes, the Harlequin Rasbora would really liven up the tank.
And when in good health they have a purple shine to them.

The tortoise.... They do feel it from time to time, But it`s the Oscar toy.

Thank you everyone.

And at what age dose the white come into the black ?

Thank`s for any info.
