Re: Ich?
I've never had any luck with meds and ich.
I always just jack the heat up to between 86 and 88 F and that does the trick.

Re: Constipated Gold Dojo
Sorry for no current updates. I *think* the little guy finally cranked the cables..so to speak. His anus is looking almost normal again and I dont see the bloating that I was seeing a few days ago. Plus he is staying at the bottom of the tank now...he had been floating around the top for a few days,...

Re: Constipated Gold Dojo
Thank you both for the replies. I still have the dojo in the 5 gallon. I'm not sure whether to dose with epsom salt each day or not, so I steered on the cautious side and did not add any today. His anus does not look as red today, though he is still just chilling at the top of the tank. I will proba...

Re: Constipated Gold Dojo
Hi Diana, So I put him in a 5 gallon aquarium yesterday with an established filter. I actually keep this tank running at all times just in case of such a situation with my fish. I added in the epsom salt and he has now been in there for about 30 hours or so, still no pooping action though. I do noti...

Constipated Gold Dojo
Hello again :) I currently have a constipated Gold Dojo loach. I've been trying the pea trick and have been giving him epsom salt baths to no avail. I can see what looks like feces right at the exit of his rectum but it just will not come out. Any other ideas for what will help this poor fella get r...

Re: Mysterious disappearing Horse Head Loach
Thanks for the reply. I have one that is at least 6 inches. Unfortunately the other two are about the same size and it is one of them that is MIA. You're right, they're so hard to see when they just poke their heads out. I moved the substrate around some today hoping that the missing one might pop o...

Mysterious disappearing Horse Head Loach
Hello, How long will Horse Head loaches burrow? I have 3 in a 55 gallon tank with sand, but I have not seen one for at least a week now. No fish bodies laying around the tank and no signs of a body in the tank if it did in fact pass away. There are no fish in there that are large enough to swallow i...
