Loaches Online Forum

Great pics. They look nice and fat and sassy

He's a pretty thing. I'm glad he's found a happy home

Fabulous....the 2 hours was well worth it

That's GORGEOUS, Erik. I love the mix of colors, and the fish look great, too

Got to ask....what's the "grassy" plant in the front? Looks like either short Vals, or tall Sag? Or am I WAY off?

Ok I gotcha :) One thing you might want to know.....Brigs are not that good at cleaning a tank of algea?? They do eat it, but they also need supplemental foods like veggies and even Protein from Shrimp pellets and things. If you expect then to eat ONLY algea, they will die of starvation :cry: If you...

He's beautiful I can see why you want to breed him.

Hey YoYo....I can help. Even though Badman's is a FABULOUS site ;) I would not keep YoYos with Brigs. Even if they can't get through the trapdoor to eat them, they will pester them so badly that the Brigs will starve. They just will never come out of their shells. If you really want to keep a loach ...

Martin I LOVE the markings and colors on these guys

Wonderful pictures.

Thanks, YoYo

ummmm, Tall Plant??? Gonna have to be more specific....

Which pic?

Hmmmmmm.....that looks to my more like a type of Eartheater....Geophagus or something similar. They are VERY much "Gardners". They sift sand for food, which means moving just about everything in the tank :) I might be able to find out for you, but it would mean posting your pic on another site. Do y...

Let's see if I can help :) This is the Bolivian I used to have. Adorable and very personable. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/Mamaschild/80g/04_11_04BolivianRam1.jpg He lived happily with Loaches and others, but no other Bolivians, for quite some time. He was given to me by someone who purcha...

LOL :D Gardners, what a great term for them :) Yes, it's perfectly normal....at least in my tank. I have large Anubias in my tank, and the loaches won't leave them where I put them for more then a couple days. Half my water change on that tank is replanting. What type of Rams do you have? I'm going ...

I was goofin' around with my video last night, trying to figure out how to post one.....haven't yet :roll: But I managed to get a couple more pics to add to the Loachey Dance :D I guess Albert didn't want to play until he figured out everyone was getting attention except him. POOR BABY :roll: Here's...

Don't know if this will help, but my experience is that they won't bother each other much. I had 2 Pictus Cats in my 80g with my Clowns and didn't notice any problems....well, other then I never saw the Pictus??? Skittish things that REQUIRE a school, in my opinion. I think in the 6-8 months I had t...

Thanks

Let's see, I keep other fish, Why? They are just to give the loaches someone else to play with

Kidding, I love ALL my fishies
