Undersized guppies that die in a couple of months

I am having trouble with my guppies and I'm afraid that it will effect my loaches eventually as well. Any guppy that I put in my tank never lasts longer than a couple of months. This includes babies that are born into the tank. Half the fry make it to "adulthood" but they never become full sized gup...

There are Pellets specifically for loaches and other bottom feeders. I also will feed live brine shrimp from my LFS every now and then.

I will also vary their diet with algea pellets and other types of food. I've also heard of people feeding shrimp and veggies (cucumber, etc).

Freddy, I understand where you are coming from I originally bought a loach for snail control and than I fell in love with loaches. However, I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if you would back off on the cursing.

I usually set the net along the edge of the tank and chase the fish toward it with my free hand and they will swim right into it.

Yes, the light is part of the camera. I recently discovered that I can turn it on using options! And yes, I really took that vid with my Bold. Apparently it takes better video than it does pictures. Thanks for the decor comment :) I wanted to give my loaches a place to hide but I still wanted to loo...

FIRST successful video footage of my loaches!!!!!!

Hey Everyone, I have always lamented the fact that my loaches are only REALLY active at night and that the video quality of my BlackBerry Bold is piss poor with the tank lights on. So tonight has been a great night (or morning depending on how you look at it, as it is almost 3am). I managed to take ...

I looked into dropsy and the literature didn't say anything about being air filled, just water bloated. My sister also confirmed that there were no other dropsy symptoms (Bulgy eyes, etc). She said that his belly was transparent and looked like one of the balloons that clowns make balloon animals ou...

Air filled Black Kuhli Loach

I got a call from my sister this morning saying that she found one of her Black Kuhli loaches bloated and floating belly up at the top of the tank. She thought he was dead but when she tried to fish him out he moved and swam around a bit. She said that his body was so full of air that his belly was ...

I put 2" pipe corners in there and they don't float at all. I just partically burried them in the sand.
