Loaches Online Forum

Ok thanks everyone. I am glad I asked. I won't sell him randomly - here in Australia I see too many big clown loaches languishing in pet shops and I don't want that fate. I might need to rethink what I am doing with my new tanks. Actually the angels are not stunted. I have 14 tanks of various sizes ...

I have a nice sized single healthy clown loach. He is in a 200litre tank with angelfish and Rummy nose tetras. This has been a nice stable setup for many years. I know now that the loach would have been better off in a group but didn't find out until after I bought it - a common story I bet. Any way...

Thanks for the update and good to hear. Please post a video. That would be fantastic to see -- the large clown in the lead of the parade. Did you figure out what was wrong exactly and how did you fix it? salt dip, trisulfa and raised temps for the angels in a seperate tank. I then followed the abov...

I was going to recommend sponge filters. I have large ones that I drop a diffusor on the end of the airtube after it is threaded through the bullseye. Took me forever to think of sponge over my filter intakes. I was wondering if the angels would think of the kuhlies as worms (lunch), unless you hav...

forget my post - I've answered my own question - sponge over the intake... Which is exactly what I am doing on my fry tanks
Dont you just hate newbies who post before they read??

Howdy. I am about to set up yet another tank... :P and I was thinking of getting a sizable bunch of Kuhlis once it is established (only other tank mates will be junenile angelfish). But I was wondering about the best type of filtration - I have read that Kuhlis like to get into tight places... I gat...

just a quick update post to say thankyou for your ideas and help. Most of my angels and my clown survived and are now happy healthy fish again. Most of the day my clown loach - which is the bigest fish in the tank, swims around grazing with a trail of other fish (tetras angels and corys) following c...

actually I have never considered UV at all. Is it effective? I might do some research. Thanks for the other tips; I will do this gradual increase easily enough.

thanks for that, I will have a read. I have had good luck treating the 3 angels (now 2 angels :( ) in the hospital tank - in the end I used an salt dip at 32 deg. I lost one angel and apparently cured the other 2. (I am waiting to make sure that it does not reoccur of course. But now I need to treat...

The only other thing I can think of is the drift wood in my tank I aquired at xmas time from a river side. But it has been in the tank since January. I treated it. and you would think it would have caused a problem before now.... I just dont know, I cant think of something that would not effect the ...

Hello there. I had a quick Google re Angelfish and app there is something called Angelfish Virus/Angelfish Aids....? I don't know if this is something you have already investigated or considered however. Not having kept the species myself, I really can't help any further but thought I would mention...

No I have not heard of this... I will do some research - thanks. Frankly I am ready to consider anything!

Hi there everyone. I am new here, but I hope you dont mind me dropping in with a rather backwards question? Basically I have tried angelfish experts to no avail, so I thought I would start at the other end of my tank! I have some sort of pathogen in my 200L tank that is effecting my Angelfish only. ...
