Loaches Online Forum

The tank I have has very very fine Silica sand

I have filter floss over the intake and it's always on there to prevent sand from getting into the impeller

I have the tetra ex 70 I believe and it has those very thin intake slits
Not quite as big as an Aquaclear intake

Thank you very much Duffman lol

Your answer put my mind at ease...I knew someone would have the same situation and same params as me

Much appreciated

I'll second that...he hit the nail right on the head

On the plus side that loach looks very healthy

SCORE!

Hi there, I'm going to get some Kuhli Loaches later tonight and I just had a couple quick questions 1. I want to put them with 6 gold zebra loaches in my 55g...are they ok to share a tank with the gold zebras? (they're really wild zebras...constantly swimming and boy are they fast!) 2. I was reading...

Another quick question Will Fish TB ever be able to be fully cured? I know the bent spine won't fix itself and all But will the fish ever totally be rid of this illness? Even after meds etc? Reason I'm asking is because guy at LFS yesterday said to throw 5 or 6 guppies in the tank as a test to see i...

I'm gonna try the Kanamycin first and hopefully see some improvements The cheapest UV sterilizer I saw in LFS was $200 Might have to look into that in a couple of months (funds are pretty tight and my contract at work is about to end...i'm not even sure if I'll have a job in about a month - Network ...

"Possible" case of Fish TB Symptoms are as follows: 4 Clown loaches in total up until about 2 weeks ago First one dies (she had a bent spine for about a month prior to her passing...she also had a sunken side between her belly and her tail fin...almost looked like there was no meat under her scales)...

Hi there, Recently I've had 3 mysteriously quick deaths in my Clown Loach tank...I have another question The one clown is still alive (Lola) and she's looking ... I wouldn't say better but stable She's not getting worse that's for sure...and she's actually eating again As of right now the last casua...

Fish constipation? I'm wondering if this could be the cause of this poor guys situation Recently my one CL had a sunken side due to fish TB which has been cleared up and she is filling out quite nicely again...and her buddy fully recovered within about 3 days I've been feeding them a high protein di...

I don't what the problem is to catch? Clean water? All I did out of my normal regiment was to change the water on friday instead of sunday...same volume...same course of action I don't know what could have happened to cause this...within' 2 days this has happened and yesterday they were fine...eatin...

Hello, This morning I woke up and one my smaller CL's is laying on it's side gasping for air very fast Normally I would laugh at this..but when I put my hand in the tank close to him...he swam upright for about 5 seconds...then started swimming sideways then he swam completely upside down now he's l...
