Loaches Online Forum

Oil hands! If you've got hang on the back style filters you can put filter sponge over the intake to keep the loaches from being able to get in or even really close to it. I use this in my fry and grow out tanks often. Also aquarium safe silicon is your friend. You can use it to fill in little nooks...

HEY! I work in Burnaby, I may able to get a temp home for the little guy if you can meet me some where. Also check out: http://www.bcaquaria.com/forum/index.php That's the British Columbia Aquarist site and you might be able to find some one closer there that will take it.

Good to know!
I supose I'll just keep an eye on it.

As I said it's only a temperary solution though until more space is available for the little guys (or not so little guys as they may be by then). Maybe the cories can be relocated temperarily into a smaller tank themselves....

I'm sure you've heard this story before: I had a snail problem. A fellow fish keeper gave me pair of little yoyo loaches and said 'hey these will take care of your snail problem'.
