Loaches Online Forum

They were labeled as mud fish , but they were clearly dojos.

My clowns play soccer with my smaller river rocks.

They move them around all the time. Always hear banging when the lights are out.

My clowns also play with my glass thermometers, theyve broken 4 of them.

Mine also like to play in the current swimming around in it.

I dont usually pay more than $8 ea for mine.

It is exciting =D I might have to take a couple days off of work to get it setup =)

3M color quartz is round and coated in silica.

it is perfectly safe for loaches and is quite heavy so it wont stir up like normal sand.

it comes in 2 sizes and many colors
