Loaches Online Forum

Someday, I will count my loaches :roll: Anyways, I have one Histrionica loach, I have never seen them in the local fish stores. I know it is a bit of a drive for you, but Scarborough (and even further, Whitby) Big Als have had Histies for the last few weeks. I think Mississauga had them on sale las...

Nice pictures Jordan! I love how much space those Neons have.

Neon Tetras are a shoaling fish, not a schooling fish. 5-6 is about the minimum for Neons I think. I am currently down to 5 myself (from 12). Sometimes when they mate, the male will chase the female away. It could just be that your one neon is a jerk.

I'm fairly sure that Ropefish will eat Kuhlis. Try Googling something like Ropefish and Kuhli loaches. I'm not entirely sure, but I think my Yoyo's ate my pangio alternans

I've got 2 golden loaches and one has become very swollen and looks like he has blisters or skin bubbles on his body. I took a picture but don't see a way to post it. His body looks normal 'till about half inch behind his head then the whole thing looks swollen and there are large bubbles in the sk...

looks like they sold you what they said they sold you to me. It looks just like the Emma Turner picture at the bottom of the Kubs page.

I think that's how angels mate. http://angelfish.info/spawning/index.htm has some good info about angels mating

If you have a hang-on filter, duckweed can get underneath the incoming water and get pushed down into the intake pipe or block the prefilter sponge. That's something to watch out for with duckweed.

As long as the gills are wet when its out of water, it should be fine

Does it hurt when a Clown accidentally sucks your skin? My YoYo's get me sometimes, and it stings like a needle

Acrossocheilus labiatus and Pseudogastromyzon fangi , Acrossocheilus labiatus are collected in ZheJiang Province, http://img120.ph.126.net/D1vvTOLSQLhipLwNaH5sZg==/2858378388498207273.jpg Sarcocheilichys parvus and Rhodeus atremius suigensis http://img241.ph.126.net/96w61Np7qcNZnwDYVEjS6w==/1393864...

Those are some great pictures! I especially like the Yo Yos since they are my faves:)

You might want to put them in quarantine first. I think those are a species that often comes with parasites. As for tank mates, I don't think you can go wrong with dwarf chain loaches.

Adults will eventually require an aquarium measuring at least 6’ x 2’ x 2’.

this is what i meant, ooops

I think 400L is good to start. I remember reading somewhere that a 120G (450ish L) is what they end up needing eventually. 4'x2'x2'

I've never heard of anyone getting their clowns to breed myself.
