Congratulations, that is a nice one! I sure haven't seen one before but I sure want one.

They seem to be very happy little buggers. When we thaw out some blood worms and drop them in there it is quite a sight. I do wish I had this kind of luck with banded kuhlies, but the black ones are just as cute. One thing I have noticed is that (at least this batch) of kuhlies prefer the larger gra...

Well, the kuhlies tank sprung a leak last night and we had to get a new tank. During the transfer my girlfriend counted an even 30 kuhlies including the adults. One of them was so tiny

Holy cow it has gotten out of control. Some of the young are comming out of the gravel and are starting to school with the larger ones. There is a bunch more tiny ones in the gravel. It is obvious that I am going to have to upgrade the tank size. I have given some to everyone that has wanted some an...

cant see your pictures.... hate photobucket ... (sorry page not found) Sorry about the pics. I don't like photo bucket very much either. These things are still breeding. I had move them to a ten gallon tank due to some fighting in the large tanks and fish had to be split up. Cleaned the tank this m...

Awsome pics!!

Thanks for the replies. I guess I have to perform a search to find my own posts? I have a couple of clowns approx. seven inches in length. I have tried a couple of different veggie treats with no luck. They nibble a little bit but just are not interested. The only treat I have found they absolutely ...

So like the title states, what is your clowns main diet

75 gallons with 700 GPH filtration and huge air strips are making quite a current. They come out and scoot around every now and then, and I don't mind them camping out in the logs, it is just that they have snails right in front of them and they just ignore them.

So do clowns eat the common trumpet snail? Mine are certainly large enough but just spend all their time inside a hollow log with snails all around them. Should I try cracking a couple of snails and dropping them in the tank or cut down on the food a little or once a lazy clown always a lazy clown?

Well it has been around three years and the little thing is tiny. Cute little bugger.

I have no idea how this happened. The first time it happened they were living in a 46 gallon tank. Now due to a Jack Dempsey they are currently located in a ten gallon. The only thing I could come up with is they are getting up there in years. I usually make them little burrows in the gravel under r...

They are too little to catch at this point. Next week we are going to try to catch and isolate.

Here is a link to the last batch. We ended up with about 15 that made it to adults, which are all still alive. http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php ... highlight=

Still cleaning right now and have only found a few but still may be more.

The Petsmart in my local town sells only the black kuhlies. I asked them about banded kuhlies and they stated they didn't sell as well as the black so they don't carry them anymore. She also said the store in the neighboring town (160 miles) has the exact opposite thing and only carry the banded kuh...
