Loaches Online Forum

Well some unfortunate medical/financial issues has caused me to sell my entire group of clowns :cry: Three of the smallest clowns I gave to a friend's son because he was so amazed by the group...the youngsters need to be encouraged with regards to our hobby and it was personally more rewarding knowi...

I just added 3 more "little" Clowns to the herd.....all three around the 6" mark. My friend really wanted the 3 Synodontis brichardi I had for his 150g show tank so I made the trade even-up. These bring my total to 31 in the group :shock: I plan to work on building a custom cabinet stand soon, possi...

Thanks for posting your pics, as I said I am always interested in seeing others construction methods. The group of 28 clown in my 180g do fine with plenty of filtration and proper water changes. They range from a few "small" ones at 5-6" with the majority in the 7-8" range and a few at 10"+ now. Som...

Hello, you will definitely enjoy watching the loaches grow up in that tank. I have a group of 28 Clowns in my 180g and they are a blast!!! I will also be building my own stand and canopy for this tank as well as building a canopy for my 190g. Do you have any detailed pics from your canopy build (I a...

Nice job Keith!!! It might even work to some extent on other types of fish. Do you mind if I share this project on other forums?

Doug Sweet was the former curator of the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit,Mi. and he has experience with loaches and may be interested in the specimen you have...if it's still available that is.
I'm not sure if he is on this forum so let me know and I will contact him.

Here's a bunch of pics of my 190g show tank that is stocked exclusively with mbuna from Lake Malawi and some Synodontis cats. Tank is a glass 72"x24"x25"H. Real solid wood cabinet stand; Two 400w submersible heaters; Three AquaClear 110's for filtration; Standard fluorescent aquarium lights; 250# of...

Here is a couple poor shots of the tank with rocks, driftwood, and a few live plants.

Now here are some shots of them in their tank. The plecos are just temporary residents. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/TREASURECHESTAQUATICS/AlleghenyNationalForestSept2012014.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/TREASURECHESTAQUATICS/AlleghenyNationalForestSept2012010.jpg http://i16...

And here is some various pics of "The Herd" in the moving process.

{Okay, so I figured out the pic posting...kind of anyway. On my screen the pic sizes end up cropping off some of the shot. Does it appear that way on everyone's? Maybe I need to re-size pics? Ideas?} The start of set up~Tank is a glass 180g 72"x24"x24"H. Sits on an angle iron stand which I plan to e...

What difficulties are you having Tony? I have an account with http://imageshack.us/ Once you upload your photo, you need to copy the link that says "direct" and then insert it into the "Img" button available on the reply box here. I use Photo Bucket and I tried doing that and this site wouldn't acc...

Well I have tried posting pics with no luck. I then sent a PM to someone I thought was on the staff here but that person has not responded. In fact, I don't believe they have opened the message if I am reading into my message box correctly. I thought I read somewhere on here, or received the error m...
