Loaches Online Forum

Over on the fresh water forum everyone was getting into a big debate about this stuff as i had a loach with skinny desiese. I ended up using Flubenol which is made for fish. i was so woried i would kill my loach with the Lev as its meant for farm animals. Ive read lots of good things on it but was s...

Thanks for that. I have cattel and sheep wormer as im on a farm but its not the same stuff. Do you think the Interpet stuff will be OK to use?

I took on a clown to add to my own young ones as it was not getting much food. It was in a tank with about 30 others, they were all the same age but this one was a lot smaller, they said and from what i saw as it was smaller (the runt like) it wasnt getting much food and being pushed out the way. I ...

Just to let you all know, after loosing my 2 baby clown loach i replaced them with 2 more. There much healtier than the others. Already the evening from getting them they were clicking to each other. Today they are eating well anything i put in which the others did not! They are out exploring all th...

Even ill be getting a bigger tank sometime soon!! They need a LOT of room!! My dad has a 30gal and has just got 2 small loach...

Thats could be why then. I read the bottle and did wonder, i left it the 1st 3 days b4 changing the water but after that done it every other day as i said. Thanks for that. I also poted a artical on a forum about treating them and was told to do what i done. I really hope it wasnt my fault or ill fe...

No with the waterlife stuff i was best recomended and after reading a lot of the net etc to re-dose every 12hrs and do a water chnage every other dose. I changed the water 25%every other day basicaly when i added the med to the new water as i was vacing the gravel and cleaning the glass etc to get r...

It is a shame. I did think something was stressing them but not sure what, as i said the water stats were great, thye had plenty of hidy holes. BUT i did take out a castel as was worried about them getting stuck as i said in a earlier post. It seemed to really go downhill after. I was doing watercha...

You can with enough pressure pull the silk plants out of the decor, i done it to a little cave as the plants looked a bit tacly as i have all live ones. Maybe they are telling you they want veg? Or get a pla...

Well just looked at my log book lol!! Its been about for 21days now!!! Silly amount of time really.

Hmm i may have to try that stuff. Never heard of it. I was useing interpet but it wasnt helping so changed to this and it did start to clear up. Im seriousely worried about loosing the smallest as hes lost his colour and is looking very bad now, worse every day.
