Loaches Online Forum

Thank you all for helping me. When it's that hot I usually shut down the lights and I remove the cover. Ik could try building something with computer fans, to help cool it down even more. So with good movement in the water and survace and possibly an air pump they should be fine. That's good to hear...

That's why I ask it here. The max temperature for the sewellia would be 23.8 C but they have done well when the temperature was 26-27 degrees. I get that for a longere period of time the best temperature would be aroud 22 degrees, and that's what the fish will get. But I would like to know if they w...

I have a 200 liter tank for my loaches(Sewellias, Beaufortias, Nemacheilus binotatus and (not really a loach) stiphodons). This tank is on the first floor where the temperature of the water never reaches higher than 27 C(usually it's around 22 degrees). Now I would like to move them to a 160 liter t...

Here is another photo of him. I shot this photo yesterday. I hope this is a good enough shot.

I'll try to make a better photo. It's a very shy fish so it might take a while

That's nice to know just a bit dissapointing that there is not much known about them. And that's it will be hard to find more of his specie to keep him company, because it's a little s...

Hello everyone, Lately I bought 12 stiphodons to keep my other 4 stiphodons company. After a while now, I noticed there is one fish not like the others. I have searched the internet but I have no idea wich fish this could be. So my question is, do you have an idea? http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-LVX3R...

Thanks for the help everyone. But I'm still not sure wich one it is. My fish store has another 4 of these coming for me tomorrow so than I will have 8 of them. They really seem to like each others company so that might be why they get really agressive when kept alone. I have around 10 Nemacheilus bi...

Hello everyone I just got on this forum. I have been into loaches for a while now and I have a 40 gallon tank especially for loaches. But I have one question. A while ago I bought 4 schistura's and I don't really know wich one it is. De salesman din't know it either(he said they where catfish :shock...
