Loaches Online Forum

If you had spent some time at vebas over the last year you might of seen me there during the weekdays. I got mine all from Vebas. Every time they came in to the state Paccos allways looked the best. Maybe it helped with extra food. It is sad that alot of stores dont know anything about these guys. O...

You got your clowns, your Yoyo's and your sids as the only normal Botia. Midland does have Kubotia thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can get about 7 different breeds in you B...

thanx for the tip Setsuna. Im lucky enough to work at a aquarium store (not bloody Local 30 minute drive each way!) And I do get things at nice prices.

I know the confuzona are now eating because as soon as the food goes in they go on the prowl. Grazing off the floor and off the rocks and wood. Because of the water flow you dont oftern see them actually eat food but you see then flick around chasing it. The smithis and the sids are getting on well ...

Hi guys and girls! Mikev I have also got 5 of these guys and I have not had any trouble feeding then at all. They dont seem to eat though but I know there fine cause they been in my care for over a month now. I feed them a block of Hikari brineshrimp in the morning and a block of bloodworms in the e...

when the other day I get to work and find some little guys hiding behind a powerhead. Nobody at work wanted to tell me these guys where there! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/Nivola/DSC_0324s.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/Nivola/DSC_0323s.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/Nivo...

hey robo i just picked up 5 myself and have noticed that they dont feel happy with out a lot of flow and i mean alot of flow. just put them into a 24x18x20 with a ehiem 2026 and a powerhead pumping out 2000Lph and they started to eat. Before this they would not eat at all and where getting skinny. n...

mikev if it is a form of ich then you will be fine with doing the salt rutine and lifting the temp to 31 degrees c. I know it high for hillstreams but if there enough oxygen then they will be fine. I had my tweedie get ich and did this and it worked a treat. there hardy little buggers by the way. if...

there nothing worse then the 3am wake up call at my place.

2 foot long clowns moving there rock garden around and then fighting with each other with the mouth lock click which is quieter then the rocks hitting the glass!

thanx martin you are as always a great help around here. I got them in a small 2 foot but will get another 2 foot tomorrow that is about 135 litres. will hook up a ehiem pro 2 2026 and also get a powerfull powerhead to setup the river tank concept. The joys of just buying a pro 3 for a 6x2x2 which m...
