Loaches Online Forum

I have this same problem with a piece of driftwood that has holes drilled in it. my loaches hide in there. One time I was cleaning the tank and I didn't know I had a hitchhiker. I put the wood on the ground and when I looked down there was a loach flopping on the floor. (the loach made it thank god....

skip the gravel and use pool filter sand or a combo of both. PFS is cheap, about $10us for a 50lb bag. and easier on your clowns barbels. i currently have 26 clowns and 6 kubotai in a 72x16x24 120g along with several other different fish and they are happy, although I am thinking that an 8' 240g is ...

Botia Kubotai (polka dot looaches) are great for eating snails in my experience. they also stay a little smaller than the yoyo's. they also tend to be a little more active during the day than my clowns.

No one attacked you. All of your questions were answered in spades. We even threw in some extra advice for free. I don't know how many fish forums you belong to, but believe me when I tell you that the free advice is never ending. If you are happy with your tanks and your fish then keep things the w...

My biggest is probably only about 7.5" It is the Alpha in a group of 16. the next largest is only 4.5" though.

modesta's can be kept with clowns. when calling the lfs, ask for redfin or blue botia instead of modesta, it might help you get further. all in all their temperment is a lot like clowns and it will eventually start hanging with them. just get rid of that driftwood, lol, cause it obviously has too ma...

brown kuhli. I've kept em before. very hardy.

I feed mine 1.5mm slow sinking growth pellets that I order from Kens. i also feed my own frozen food as a treat, along with freeze dried jrill as an occasional treat. I have 16 clowns ranging from 2" to 7.5" and 6. Kubotai at about 1.5"

he seems a bit too small to tell. try to get us some more shots, especially some close ups of the face.

that's terrible man. are the splendida alright? check your pm's

it's an ornate bichir. I used to have one. Awesome fish.

Something I've learned about clowns is that the bigger the loach the longer it takes it to completely feel at home in a new tank

I've heard the same thing about corydoras.

I use the tetra min tropical flakes for the tetras mostly, but it even has a ram on the container. Lol. Must be why shes been eating them. I feel dumb that I didn't even notice that! Thanks for the advice! I'm telling you, try the granules (what used to be color bits) my rams doubled in size in onl...

What do you mean by "seeded?" I took the old filter from my 10 gallon and rubbed it onto the new filter cartridge before I even added the fish. I also put it a little bit of the water from the 10. I made sure to check the levels. I feel like I've become a tad bit obsessed with the fish and the leve...
