Loaches Online Forum

just to show that not all people have great minds... 8)

tiger loaches (hymenophesa and helodes) while prefering softer water, are temperamentally suited to agressive chiclid tanks. i've seen them successfully cohabitating with both malawi and tanganikan types. they don't take no sh*t and the ...

i've got a 30g with 3 little clowns (too small-i know-long story). plantd tank, 2 angels, 2 otos, a bristlenose and a temporary peacok eel.

how hot is your tank without the lights on? mine runs at about 82f. when i first put the clowns in they hid all the time. i feed the angels frozen blood worms ...

I don't think there will be a problem adding smaller clowns or yo yos to your group, as long as you have enough room and hiding places.

just my two cents...

No, it doesn't look like CWS to me, just that they are painfully thin.

I had my horsie in with breeding angels that spawned. He didn't bother the eggs or wigglers at all. Once they were free swimming and would crowd into a cloud at night near the bottom and would easily have fit into his mouth, he ...

Feed them up real well, Shari. (still cracks me up to type that!) They both look really thin.

"metal" or did you mean 'mettle', or is that just non-colonial humor?

Here's a link that addresses the temp issues a bit (just a quick google look ;-))

Look for the red ...

What temp was your tank at before you noticed the spots? Lower temps slow the life cycle...and it usually infests the gills before you ever see any spots.

How embarrassing Guess that's what you get when you skim too fast, eh?

thanks Martin.

I haven't tried it myself, but if I remember right someone has used it successfully here...just can't remember who... :oops:

Here is a link to a place in the US you can order powdered levamisole, but from what I know it's best to treat with both a broad spectrum antibiotic as well as the ...

there is a color difference between clown loaches from Borneo and those from Sumatra, but at the moment I can't seem to locate the article on the old forum to link you to, sorry. :oops:

Younger clowns are often brightly colored and it is true that as they age and grow larger some develop white ...

As for the greying out you see in the larger fish, that means that he/she is declaring dominance, or planning to fight for it. The brighter colored one is the one being submissive, not the other way around. When you see two clowns struggling for dominance they will often both grey out and the loser ...

Very cute! Yes, they do like a sushi roll.

Shane,

Here's a description of the dangerous chemicals involved in keeping fish. (The first half of the page)

No, I wouldn't say that ammonia is neutralized by chlorine. What happens when you combine the two is that you get chloramine. Also deadly to fish, and harder to neutralize.
