Loaches Online Forum

I'd go and try Gorilla Glue. Its a moisture cured glue. Which means it needs moisture to cure. It bonds near everything, i'd clamp your pieces and glue away.

Thanks on the tank compliments it took some thought as i knew i was going to be getting loaches. They use all the nooks, crevices, selves, whatever you want to call them. Now i have some nice big bunches of crypts growing up towards the front which obscures the view of all the rock work. So i don't ...

UPDATE: I've had this guy now almost 2 months and he is now just starting to come out with regularity. He comes out for daily feeding which consists of sinking carnivore and algae rounds, cucumber or squash and cocktail shrimp. I know in the past he would skip meals. Not so much anymore. He has also...

There may not be a solution for your problem, because of the pull out spout. I know the type of faucet your talking about. But look that faucet over well, it may be that you can unscrew it at the hose or spout? Here is a link for python adapters http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_dis...

Yeah same here.

Very nice shots, i take a hundred pics and keep a few.

I've read scaleless fish like loaches, catfish and such are more susceptible to ich. I don't understand why, but i often read that its the loaches, usually the clowns, which show signs of the disease first.

In a 40g tank i'd think you could get a group of 7/8 that would make a nice family of yoyos for your tank.

WOW, really nice setup you have there. I must say i like all the Buddha statues and the Fu dogs/dragon are cool as well.

Cool fish, how big is the pond? Man made or natural?

He was out and about exploring lastnite with the light on for a couple of hours seems like he is starting to feel at home.

You can get a $20 lamp and spend another $8 dollars or so for the tubes via Home depot. Just make sure its a twin tube setup. Its what i'm running now, due to that shy clown loach and all my plants are still growing with less algae issues? I might just do away with my 130 watt CF. But then again it ...

Those 1 lamper lights aren't the best for growing plants and yes, you can plant your plants with roots in gravel in an established tank. The light you have would probably keep some plants alive, but little growth would occur. Your best bet is to go to a home improvement center and get a cheap twin t...

Very nice setup i love the plecos and the other fish aren't bad either.

How much light do you have over that 40g? I'm growing crypts in my 90g, in gravel, they are pretty easy. So is anubias, Java fern and Java moss. But lighting levels need to be at a certain intensity. For active growth at least 1 wpg, better is 1.5 watt per gallon is what i'd recommend for the plants...
