Loaches Online Forum

It is 'huge' I personally have seen the 8ft tank and the 12 inch plus Clowns. It's pretty eye opening stuff. :shock: I bet that is a wonderful sight, I currently have 8 clowns (biggest 5" smallest 2") in an 75 gallon 4' tank. Within the next 18 months they will all be moving into a new tank that I ...

Excellent photos Martin.

They look lovely Wendie, I am hoping to get some in the next couple of weeks. The shop has had them in for just over a week now so I think they should be ok.

I hope mine settle in as well as yours seem to have

Very nice photos Emma and a great looking fish

Hi Stephen

I have a couple of cryptocorynes, couple of Bacopas and loads of Java Fern and they dont bother with any of them. I have 6 clowns from 2 1/2" upto 7".

Now the question is... does a fish have the same moral/ethical "rank" or standing as a cat or dog or other animal? I dont think a neon or something similar could be compared to a cat or dog. I can see however that a large fish that is kept as a pet such as a giant gourami, oscar or koi could be com...

Cheers guys P. oblonga they are then .

I am hoping to get hold of a trio of P. myersi in the next couple of weeks.

Hi guys, I got 5 of these little guys at the weekend and I was wondering if they are Black Kuhli (Pangio javanicus) or if they are Cinnamon Kuhli (Pangio oblonga / pangia). Between the 5 of them there are a couple that are slightly lighter in colour than the others but other than that they are ident...

Hi Wendie, I buy the 120ml bottles, Protozin is actually the ich remedy but Myxazin can be used to treat ich as well and I have found it works a little better when loaches are in the tank. To treat protozoan diseases such as ich, velvet, costiasis etc the aquarium can be treated twice a day, 12 hour...

Just a little update, I have now got the two botias that I thought were Rostrata in my 44 gallon tank and their markings have changed quite alot. I think B. kubotai is looking more likely. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/MadDuff/Botia1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/MadDuff/Botia2.jpg

Hi Wendie,

Can you get hold of Waterlife products over there as I have found Myxazin to be very effective when treating ich in my tanks that contain loaches, I certainley havnt seen any adverse reactions and it seems to cure the problem pretty quickley.

I thought I would share a couple of photos of my B Dario and B Rostrata. They are all living happily together in a 30 gallon at the moment with some cories but will soon be going into a 44 gallon. There are 3 Darios but the other one was camera shy :) : http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/MadDuff/I...

Stunning photos Martin .

Thank for all the info guys. They are in their own tank this morning, lovely they are - peaceful they ain't. They were starting to chase and harrass the Rostrata's and Dario's this morning and they were even chasing the Brochis that they were in with. They havnt done any damage so Im not taking any ...

Hi Graeme, I have been keeping an eye on them and they really do seem placid at the moment. They are having a bit of a chase with each other but they dont seem at all bothered by the Rostrata or Darios at the moment. Only time will tell I suppose. I found them in a local pet shop, they only had the ...
