Loaches Online Forum

I did a little more research on sands. My plan for the future is if I want to go cheap, I'll probably go for pool filter sand. If I don't mind spending, I'd probably get Caribesea Torpedo Beach. The grains are supposed to slightly bigger than PFS and it's a lot cleaner. Safe for Rays and I assume lo...

Yeah, you sometimes see posts on mfk as redshark said. Divers Den on Liveaquaria sometimes has 4.5-6" ones but they are really expensive. Like they want over $100 a fish. Compare that to their 2.25-3" ones that goes for $69.99 for three. That price is good for two week guaranteed fish that have been...

I just did a quick search on another forum.

He said it was junk so I don't know

Ive been planning for a future tank upgrade and plan on switching to sand for that tank. I thought I was sold on pool filter sand but this video has me questioning it. https://youtu.be/zrlY0OhIADk This YouTuber says he likes the Nat Geo sand as it's easier to vacuum. Apparently you can syphon it alm...

Update: So, I think the black by gills may just be normal for some clown loaches. I watched this video today and this fish looks the same as three of my loaches: [MEDIA=youtube]JeERiU0w9IQ[/MEDIA] The fish also don't seem to flash that much. I'll try watching them for an extended time tonight but p...

Hi everyone, Thanks for any input on this: The short version is my young loaches have been flashing like this for like two months and I'm not sure if I should try treatments or if it could just be from the black spots that loaches can get (I read the long thread about how the theory is it's from TDS...

I ordered like $100+ worth of frozen food from liveaquaria. They frequently have deals where the food is 20% off. They ship it for $19.99 next day air and even factoring in shipping, the food is cheaper here than anywhere else I've looked. For some reason, a few packets were melted but they refunded...

Just replying to say that the flow isn't a problem and the Loaches probably like it. That being said, they do fine with little flow. I had minimal flow in my tank and my three.loaches I have survived for over 20 years. I've since added flow with two powerheads. The new Loaches and rainbowfish seem t...

Yeah, I can't believe I was so slow to get a Python. I hated filling up buckets (and I used 3 gallon ones in the slow sink faucet). Now, I can just start to drain with the python. Then, ehike it's doing that I syphon water into the buckets to rinse out my sponges or media. I can even speed up draini...

If you're not happy with the selection at the LFS you can always try online. After a bad batch of clowns, I tried liveaquaria's Diver's Den. The fish there go through a bath for external parasites and then get a two week quarantine before they go on the website. They post actual pics of the fish you...
