Bristle Nose Difficulties.
Hi, I am having difficulties keeping bristlenoses alive. This is the only fish I have ever struggled with. I have bought these from different shops and kept them in different tanks with different fish. I always have wood and feed vegetable food. The only thing in comman is the water I use. I have pH...

RO Water - Minerals Required
Hi, I often see topics about the use of RO water here. I read that certain minerals need to be replaced. What I never hear about is what minerals need replacing and what levels are required for these minerals and how to measure these levels. I am considering using RO water for my clown loaches. I pr...

I know this is an old debate - Distinguishing between juvinile Botia. How can you differentiate between Histrionica and Emperor? I bought some Histrionica recently with an expensive price. We dont often get them here but they were twice the price of the Rostrata, Kubotai and Striata I have previousl...

No Way! I cant believe it. I am so sorry to hear about this. Marge was definately the greatest Clown Loach on Earth. Probably the greatest captive clown loach ever. It will be a long time before another clown is ever as advanced as Marge. Marge's success was due to the expert care and attention she ...

Thanks for the replys. I definately like to use powerheads in my loach tanks for circulation, and the use of a sponge over the intake is great for filtration and a way to stop fish getting sucked in! I was more interested in the opinions regarding the Biological filtration capacities of internal fil...

Internal Filters?
Hi Everybody!
I have been thinking about using an Internal Filter for the benefit of current, and with the added Venturi effect, the extra airation.
However, I am unsure how much Biological Filtration such a filter can provide.
Are these type of filters worth having in a loach tank??
Thanks.
