Loaches Online Forum

i am from northern new jersey.

Absolutely Fish in Clifton, New Jersey has a great reputation. It has a HUGE selection of fish and a pretty good staff. Even if you are not going to buy, it is great to look around in this store.

I also really like The Fish Tank in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.

that last pic was really nice

great pics.

i would agree with you in that your tank is a bit overstocked

mick my dad's yo-yo does the exact same thing in his tank with the internal filter.

franksaquarium.com has them.

He is located on long island and i see you are as well. He makes appointments if you want to pick them up. All you have to do is set up a time with him by e-mail.

I can definitely recommend keeping various australian rainbows with your loaches. They are extremely beautiful, strong swimmers, and great fish to have. You could also have a nice school in a 55 in my opinion.

Many people also keep various barbs, danios, etc... with their loaches

how big is your tank?

it must be huge to have all those clowns and and arowana

awesome pics

But only time will tell i guess

i would say either b. histrionica or b. dario

very cool.

i saw maybe 12 of those the other day in one of my lfs. They were 5 inches long each and in maybe an 8 gallon holding tank. They were actually not killing each other as i would've expected, but still were quite active and fun to watch.

I dont know where in connecticut you could find those but i was at House of Fins in Greenwich, CT a while ago and they had:
Botia Sidthmunki
Botia Kubotai
Botia Almhorae
Botia Striata
Acantopsis choirorhynchus

Back in September i was at Greenwich Aquaria, also in Greenwich, and they had:
Botia ...

Don't acclimate them at all. Just float the bags about 10 minutes and let them out. They will be fine. Trust me.

i hope that was a joke...

i have never tried the drip method, i float the bags and add about a cup of tank water to the bag every 10-15 mins for 1 hour, then i just net them out of ...

wow. i would absolutely love to have that. too bad its not the right situation.

i live close by and would love to take them but unfortunately i am going to college in a year and my parents are selling the house so they would have to be re-homed again very soon.
I am going to be advertising on this site very soon for anyone who will be interested in striatas, clowns, or ...
