Loaches Online Forum

So I am looking at getting zebra loaches. I had dwarf chain or Sid's loaches before and absolutely loved them. I loved how active they were always swimming in the glass and coming to the surface to get food. It always looked like they were dancing in the middle of the tank when they were hungry. Jus...

I like the T. espei rasboras and I think that is what I will get but I do prefer blueish fish. I like the zebra danios and cardinal tetras. What do you think about cardinal tetras for this tank?

So I have been doing more research and was wondering if the smaller rasboras that only get up to 1 inch or 2-3cm would be ok with the dwarf chain loaches? I do like some species like the crossbanded rasboras, espi rasboras, the Galaxy rasboras, and the mosquito rasboras.

I do really want to do Otos and despite my desire to get them asap I will wait because I don't want to starve them(their algea eating abilities are an added bonus not the reason I want them). Thanks for all the advice on food it is very appreciated and gives me a good idea on what to try. I know som...

It is an anubias Nana and there are roots that I have tied into the wood at the base of the wood. I put a rock underneath it just today so when I pour water in it doesn't get barried thanks for the advice. I do have a question about food for the loaches. I am very interested in providing a balanced ...

I took some of the advice and made some changes to the tank I removed a bunch of rocks. I can't take much more out without exposing the pvc. I'm actually much happier with the look. Thank you for the advice!

Oh forgot to respond about the rasboras. I don't like the look of most I have seen. I originally wanted guppies but with having such soft tap water I figured it would shorten their lives. I was looking for a semi small soft water species that would provide movement in the tank. I don't particularly ...

I have added a white window film to it since this picture but not much else. I do have a pvc elbow pointing up that has a rock over it I can vac down in th...

Yeah there are 7 bunches of pygmy chain sword a small bunch of rotala indica that I plan to spread as it grows tall. I also have 1 anubius nana I think I am going to get some flame moss or java moss to attach to the driftwood and maybe two or three more anubius nana I want to make it look like a bus...

I have set up a tank for these guys and just finished the cycle I'm still doing water changes to get the nitrates down to safe levels. I have a few questions. I have a 30" x 18" x 12" 29 gallon fish tank I have a sand base with a sloped incline made of 3" to 1" smooth river rocks. I imbedded caves m...
