Loaches Online Forum

Really nice pics and lovely clowns. I love the third picture on the list with the clown loach. Priceless! Everyone is looking great. Well done! Do the new juvies keep to themselves or do they mix with the larger ones yet? thanks! :D I love that photo too. flash made her look a bit lighter than she ...

one more thing i wanted to share(show off): my feeding/aerating/snail+daphniabreeding/biofiltering manifold thing. not pretty, but i am still very,very happy with it. flake injection, my girl named it "the snowglobe effect", so everyone can eat: http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz96/maartino84/Mob...

today is the kings birthday, parties everywhere, but i have been sick at home :x . took many photos to break boredum. so not all photos are good, but some failed ones show funny effects. http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz96/maartino84/Mobile%20Uploads/1f45e033-1566-4f9a-9717-3b0d42480396.jpg~orig...

So which will it be? Maybe H. Orthogoniata would fit such a long low tank? Looking at the yoyos here, the height is insufficient.

Sorry, cory.
did you tell the clown he now his to fullfill the corys lifespan aswell as his own?
is the qtank back to normal now?
and how are the platies doing?
handfeeding already? I might have a trie at that. Spirulina good for trying?

... So i did a 1/4 wc yesterday, cleaned the other cannister's prefilters and its intake thing. No food. Sat around with the camera ready... the residents were jumpy... the big one came out... flashed its sittingrock twice... sat on it...and that was it :? No "flashdancing" or any other display. :ro...

I too think keeping them healthy is the most important. guess who was out and exploring in full daylight today? Yes, the new big one :D. She swam in the open and even sat on the sand for a minute. She still doesnt trust me though. While she does make eyecontact and stays where she is, she does get r...

Good to read the clown and platies are happy. Hope the cory will recover.
Also nice to see all the detail of this treatment. Keep it up!

Sids zouden leuk zijn
=sids would be nice.
or how about darios? Striata would fit nicely aswell. With some ditters too ofcourse, and maybe some horsefaces?
will the pump return to the other side to make a bit of a river?

I would set the heater back to 27. They have a working range, and water cools gradually. In the morning its probably still 28. Shrimps shouldnt be sitting still in a corner all day, nor should corys. They all come from areas with lots of sudden cooling rain. 0,5 'c cooling a day might be taking to l...

i watched the video you posted again. Have you read the comments? See what i mean? You mean the video with the "ichy" clown loach :lol: it was nice to see your fishies acting healthy, didnt see the comments though. But no, i ment the comments on the scratching barbs video in the bacterial mist tank...

Hahahahahaha. Tricked twice. And your new one WILL (already does) do al that too. Good story though. Are they still murdering baby fish? See the potential? :twisted: Same thing happend to me with the denisoni barbs. Small firetetras, pondsnails and cherryshrimp cycled the then new tank. Must have be...

all depends on ambient temperature and water volume. just lowering 2'c a day must be fine. temp won't drop right away. last june, we were on holiday in Bali, Indonesia, just 500km from Borneo. HOT all the time. but one day, very unsually, a morning of rain. sun came back, hot air again, went swimmin...

To be honest, I hadn't bought a new fish in ages, so I wasn't worried about diseases, and thus, I wasn't "trying to notice" things. These days, that I've been looking for things, I started "seeing" things :lol: :D why do you think i am making a point out of all this? :oops: :lol: I can't find much ...

sorry, low batterie, so quickly posted. different computer now. i wanted to say: a topic showing the difference between loachy behavioural flashing, and itchy flashing, would probably be helpful. preventing unnessasary treatment to healthy fish, and giving helpful visual material to compare to for w...
