Loaches Online Forum

Hey Everyone, I know this thread is a bit old, but I thought I'd share a source I just found for levamisole. They have a site called Subquaria.com They also sell on e-bay. Has anyone used this brand before? There prices seem pretty reasonable, as you can buy in lower quantities. I haven't tried it y...

Hey everyone,

We're having an issue with what I believe is a skinny dwarf loach. We have some levamisole hydrochloride that expired in 12/2009. Will it still be effective?

I've been trying to find some to buy online, and am having an issue. Do you guys have any leads?

Thanks,

Kelly

Hey everyone, just a quick update So, we had gotten the nitrates back to normal, and our alpha clown still wouldn't eat! Everyone else was acting fine through this whole ordeal... So, we started trying to think of what changed... and we think it was the food. We usually get them the Hikari sinking w...

Hi Glenna, Well, we did both actually. We added 3 small tiger barbs about 12 days ago, and over the weekend we rearranged their tank. Thinking that maybe the rearranging of their tank was stressing him out, I put his house back to it's original location last night. Today he's still not eating, and c...

We did a water change earlier tonight, and tested the water afterward, only to discover the nitrates were high. We treated the tank with some Amquel plus, and cleaned out the filter. We have an XP3, and usually we find sand at the bottom of the filter, after all the media is taken out. Tonight we fo...

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if any of you have had the same issues... Our Alpha clown loach who's about 6 years old has decided to stop eating the past few days. He's also been out and about doing the loach dance during the day, for the past few days as well. That's unusual for him, he's usually onl...

I used to have an aquaclear HOB, before I had sand. I agree, they do work good. Does the sponge/foam insert on the inside of the filter keep the sand from breaking the impeller? Or do you somehow attach a second foam insert to the intake tube in the tank? We're getting sick of having to mess around ...

Hey everyone, I'm wondering what filter you all recommend. Right now we have a Rena XP2. We've had it for a little over a year now. We've had some issues with it. We've replaced the impeller once already, and tonight it's stopped working again. We've checked the tubing for any blockage, and the seem...

Well, I guess we'll have to start planning to do a reseal this summer then. We have a 46 gallon, so I think if we split the fish up into (2) 10 gallon tanks, they should be alright for a couple days. I would rather go through the hassle of doing that, then having a leak while living in an apartment ...

Nice Pics! That's the first time I've seen a cone feeder. What kind of food do you use with that? Anything that floats? The Striatas look really good, (as do all the fish). How big are they? I bought a couple a few months ago, they're only about an inch or so in length now. They're defiantly good lo...

Speaking of leaks...

Is there about an average life span of a fish tank, as far as the silicone goes? I've noticed some bubbling or pitting in our silicone. The clowns also like to seem to pick at it from time to time.

I have an All-Glass aquarium that's about 5 years old.

How old is Marge?

I did buy them together, from the same tank. I was thinking he might have been mixed in by accident. But after looking at the photo Mick posted, I think he is a kub. The two we have just look a lot different to me. Could they be different sexes?

Thanks for the help guys!
