Loaches Online Forum

Hi guys,

And in addition, I did some simple water parameter test in their natural habitat, you can view the results at my blog >>> http://borneosucker.blogspot.com/2009/06/water-parameters-of-borneo-sucker.html

I see. Now, can you make a quick jump where macracanthas live ...

Thanks, didn't noticed the link. Sorry if I am off topic a bit here, but those leaves really interest me. You put them to lower pH? For how long can you rely on them to low the ph in tank?

They eventually also sink I persume ?

What was the price of leaves if I may ask?

What was the name of documentary on National Geograhic, from which these photos were taken?

How big are the clowns?

Hm. I just can not get rid of the feeling, that main motivation here is $$$$$$. There are no guaranties they will stop with catching wild fishes, and this will become a " create " them as many as possible industry. Money rules the world.

There is a lot of writing about Botia Striata, but somehow I can barely find competent information on their life span? Anyone? I find from 4 up to 15+ years, checking the google. Now that is a large difference.

I think they will eat baby Endlers, though.

Well, not my two zebras. And " two " is a cause for them to be a bit unfriendly toward each other often. Need to buy them a company I guess

stick with the java fern
you don't want java moss (well your filter intakes don't want it!)
I had gotten rid of java moss about two years ago and what did I just find recently...a little strand of java moss.
