Loaches Online Forum

that a gd way.
i just want 2 say your loaches look awsome. they r soooooooooo cute.
i think that was the millionth time i have said that .

i'm setting up a plant/shrimp tank anyway.
what about dwarf rasbora. but do they need a very mature tank?
thanks .

ok
i did dought it.
is there anthing that can go in there, other than a bettabecause i'm getting 1 anyway 4 a 5g tank.

thats my bigger tank at the mo. maby when my westher loach goes into the much bigger tank i'm getting i could have them in there.
thanks

oo
just want 2 make sure.
is it normal 4 them to swim up and down the glass?

hi
what would be the smallest hillstream loach 4 a small tank as i have no room or money 4 another big tank.
i have a 3g but that would be much too small, or wouldn't it.
thanks in advanze

it's amazing how much he eats.
i give the danios some flake. he eats them instead of the danios and goldfish that go for the sinking pellets.
he's a real character.

just like my loach.up and down the glass.

diff sizes shoal.
i don't realy now what the size should be.i've never kept clowns as i have no money for the bigger tank.
i would give the barbs back if you are getting no more. can't think of some good options. i sopose neons or cardinals would be alright.

try getting some more clowns and more tigers as they like to be in bigger groups.
how big is your tank?

great pics and great loaches. can't wait till my tank is cycled for when i get some.

new dojos are incredibly prone to fin rot, especially AIUI at this time of year. Does the fin remnant look pinkish and thickened as well as bloody? You're not helping the loach by keeping it in water which is too warm, either; it's a cold (temperate) water fish and probablt isn't up to coping with ...

thats a brill pic. cool

remember they like a strong current and lower tropical temps. so this is a sub-tropical fish.
