Loaches Online Forum

Hey guys... I'm here with an update. I decided to move the 3 clowns to my 10gal hospital tank, they seem to be doing a little better but not at 100%. (There are two goldfish in there with them). I tested the water in the qtank the day I moved them and everday after that... it mostly has better water...

I do intend to... I picked up some meds... I'm gunna take all of your advice and try to figure this one out. Thanks for all the help. I'll PM you with the results when they come... I hope they live. Not just because they are so cute, but so we can confirm what was the problem so people in the future...

My delema is this, I don't wanna medicate the big tank because there are 15 small molly fry in there. And the small tank has only been set up for a week now with two goldfish in it. I used cycle and stuff to speed up the process but yeah. Should I medicate the loaches in the big tank, the small tank...

The loaches have started flashing. I think it may be the parasite things. Shit... I'm gunan go out to the fish store now and get somthing to help them. Should I isolate them so the other fish don't get anything, or should I treat them in the main tank incase there are flukes or w/e on the plants? I'...

Will E.M. tablets work?

If not, where can I find this Levamisole?

Yeah I guess I could drop the water level. None of the other fish are experiencing any stress what so ever. I wated a month after I trated for the ick, the only survivors was the pleco and 1 platty. They are still in there now. I just set up a qtank 3 days ago, I have two goldfish in it to cycle it....

He looks kinda skinny... but the thing is, it's not like he doesn't want to eat... he is still eating. And yes you were right, I did add the salt for breathing... I have read that the salf improves gill funcition and healthy gills etc. This is the 1st and only time I have added salt. Ummmm, as for f...

Hey Shari, I've been testing the water everyday now to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. I have a 32 Gallon tank, the pH of the water is slightly alkaline (around 7.8), the total alkalinity (KH) is about 90ppm, chlorine os 0, the total hardness (GH) of the water is a little hard, may tha...

Hey guys. One of my loaches is hiding in the corner facing the water surface and breathing heavily. I've read up on some other sites and stuff about it being possible parasites or it is just wasting away because it is not eating? I did a 25% water change. Did nothing. When I do put food in for him h...

Koko, I am sure they will be fine for as long as you have them. Idealy they like to be with other clown loaches, but 3 is fine. I known someone that had only 1 clown loach and it was fine, very active, and made friends with the other tank mates. It will not grow super large super fast. I'd be more w...

So I woke up this morning and Jack was at the bottom =( So... I guess he's in a better place now because he isn't suffering. Sally is sticking it out, but is still panting pretty fast. I have a 32 Gallon Tank It has ben up and running for 2 and a half months. For Filtration I have an AquaClear 50 FI...

Hey guys... I have two cute little Clown Loaches named Jack and Sally. Yesterday Sally (The smaller one) started bobbing near the surface of the tank vertically, but went to sleep fine. Today they are BOTH breathing very heavily and look like they are not having a good time. I think it may be some s...
