Loaches Online Forum

Hello Folks, Im considering a new tank, the same size as my current one which is 125L/35 us gall, its a Juwel Rio. My main choice for stocking is some Khuli Loaches, which i have always liked and i was hoping some of you could help me with this. How many Khuli should i put in my tank ? What sort of ...

Simply a fantastic video.

Hello Rod, i too have a 33g tank and am planning on getting some Kuhlis. The general reply ive had in most forums to the question is about 6 or 7, they are happier in a group and much more visible. But dont take my word, there are some real Loach experts here who can answer your question more accura...

My dream setup for my tank is simply a tangle of driftwood. Lots of caves and places to hide and play around in. But its a toughie as there arent a lot of places around my area to buy them from. Eyrie and Kimura - you are both spot on, its quite tricky to find the right peice of driftwood. Im with E...

Hello, :D Just wondering what do folks here use for caves/hideouts for your Loaches ? Ive been searching the net for suitable stuff but no luck.

Helen, its looks like its a nice tank to me. Ive come to the conclusion we have all the best "aquascapes" here on this forum ! They keep getting better. I havent even started mine yet. I have plans.

Andre. Wow.

Dave - Id actually enjoy seeing some Corydoras pygmaeus in there with my Kuhlis, nice idea, noted, thanks. Directorate - that is spot on in my opinion, its how i want my Loach/bottom dweller tank to look - really natural, a slice of habitat with lots of bogwood, a few plants, a tiny bit of shade and...

Woah. Some great images there Dave. Loads of them. Loach heaven ! Both Lee and your tanks looking good ! Trying my best to narrow down my choice of tankmates for my Loach tank - not happening. Its Kuhlis and . . .

The Melanotaenia lacustris are just gorgeous. Id love them to be a part of my community tank with my Kuhlis but i read somewhere that they need a 4 foot tank and fairly hard water ? My tank is only about 80Wx50Hx36L cms. If its no to the Lacustris then maybe some Praecox or Threadfins.
