Loaches Online Forum

They are indeed. I took that picture many years ago. I had to give that group up when I moved over a decade ago, but they were a lot of fun.

I especially like your Burmese loaches. I used to be able to get them for a few dollars each (had a small shoal in my Loach Lounge tank), but now they are $20 or more each, so I don't have any.

Nice setup you've got running with all of those loaches! Makes my little 30 long feel cramped. Keep up the good work and videos!

Any updates on this opportunity? Inquiring minds want to know!

Way over due update time:

The 30 long is still alive and kicking. Still populated with Khulis. My youngest insisted on GloFish so we have 9 Glo-Danios (or whatever the official name is these days). I don't have any pics at the moment, but the tank is healthy.

I'm in the process of converting from ...

As can be seen from the post dates in this thread, I have been rather lax in posting updates. This is mostly due to another hiatus from fish keeping due to a vacation that ended in finding my loach tank dark green and all fish dead back in 2016 or 2017 (can't remember for sure now). The 30 long and ...

I ended up removing all of the silk plants from my tank today. The edges of the leaves were fraying and I kept finding clumps of enwoven threads floating around, so out they came. Three of the four largest kuhlis came out to see what all of the fuss was about so I enjoyed watching them checkout ...

I got "lucky" today at the hardware store (sort of). I went to Home Depot (closest store of the appropriate type to my house) to get the O-rings I needed. I took the male end of the connector with me for sizing purposes. I found several that fit the groove in the connector, so I bought at box and ...

Out of stock indeed! That tends to be the case for me when I need random or odd items. I think it is a .5" o-ring, but I can take the connector with me fairly easily. It is killing me that the filter is pretty much ready to go. I just need to add some media from the old filter. In the words of Iñigo ...

I hit a snag tonight while getting the Eheim 2213 ready for use. The clip arrived and it installed without a hitch. However, it appears some munchkin or other has removed the O-rings from my Double Tap valves, so both filter hose lines leak (that is what I get for not protecting it better while it ...

I am indeed glad to be back in the hobby! My first fish was a dojo loach, so I get a lot of nostalgia from all loaches. I didn't have any Histrionicas in the tank (that I'm aware of). I think you are referring to the juvenile Kubotai. I had a few of them in that tank.

I started a new thread for my ...

Nice fish! I almost bought a similar specimen yesterday, but I couldn't talk my son into it (technically it would be "his" fish, but he wanted a Black Moor ).

After a few years break from fish keeping, my children have gotten me back into the habit... er, I mean hobby. We started with a 20 gal high tank that housed some neon tetras and a four kuhlis. After a few months of maturing, the tank has been upgraded to a 30 long and several more fish have been ...

So I haven't posted in quite some time. This is due to rage quitting the hobby after leaking about 40 gallons (a sump full) into my living room carpet due to a leaking canister filter. I had to tear down the tank and move it to prevent mold problems, so I sold the tank and re-homed the fishes. This ...

I do have stones in the tank, but I need to increase the flow a bit. I have a larger return pump I can put on the tank, but I have to get some plumbing adapters to make it all work. Thanks for confirming the ID.
