Loaches Online Forum

The fixture has four openings and has its own air line , I suppose I could increace the air valve for a stronger flow. It is on the bottom but I will change that today once I get home from work. I still think that it is an injury and I will file the bottom edges of the fixture to make sure they are ...

Hi,
I just have a question or two about my Clowns. I bought my first two Clowns about a year ago not knowing what I was buying until I brought them home. I hadn't had much luck with smaller fish, and I also wanted to add some color to the aquarium. I found mine in a local pet store. After getting ...
