Loaches Online Forum

Cute pictures doll ^_^ I love Patoot! He couldn't have liked that flash too much No flash photography of the stars.
(Any names for that catfish yet?)

Yes, there are nice job opportunities right here if I wanted to stay in Newfoundland- one that strikes me fancy is the fact that such a small group of marine biologists are trying very hard to try and breed the Atlantic Cod- who is now on the endangered list. -_- Which I knew was going to happen ANY...

My interests & hobbies are also VERY diverse- but I do believe that essentially, this is what I'd like to end up doing. And as for the drawings, I was trying to do some scans earlier :( My scanner is being very rude lately :lol: I think it's about time for a new printer/scanner/copier myself! :evil:...

Since deciding to take on the responsibilty of caring for loaches & other fish, especially clowns, it has made me realize how immensely I enjoy doing so. :D I've actually decided I'd like to pursue going to school to become a professional aquarist. I've been seeing a lot of support from all angles- ...

I currently have two clowns in a 20 gallon O_O Though this wasn't by my own errors- they were definitely cute little gifts! I'm waiting for a new group of clowns to come in, to add to their little family. My LFS refuses to sell clowns until they've been there for at least a month- so if any clowns w...

Watermelon, eh? That just so happens to be MY favorite fruit- I have it in the house at all times, usually 4 packs :oops: I can get through a couple of them in a day. But I'd be more than happy to share with my loaches! :wink: Gorgeous pictures as usual, Emma. I love them all lined up as if they're ...

Good thing that's all you have to do, huh?
I see this post has tumbled into chaos, like many before it.
Who's going to work on the LOL curtains?
I bet nobody here could guess my age, if I haven't already revealed it.

That's the trouble, shipping to Newfoundland is so expensive.
I have no idea where I'd ever find a 70g tank for 34 DOLLARS... I've never heard tell of it!
The shipping costs to bring anything to this province is ridiculous!

Do you have a rainbow or a red tail? Whenever I say rainbow or red fin everyone thinks I mean that he's a RTBS. Tanooki (my shark) is a rainbow shark, he's been very kind to my loaches. At first he was weary, and chased them a bit around feeding time because they always got there first- but he was o...

Sir Loin has healed up nicely, thanks to water changes and pima/melafix- as has Tanooki's barbels, with the same treatment in his tank ^_^ Both have returned to great health. And if you all remember scrawny Lewellyn, he's recently started packing on pounds. :P His gluttony is starting to show- he gr...

It comes with aqua clear heater/filter, thermostat, Aquaplus and waste control, one flourescent and one blue light, a couple marina plants, a guide, food, net, and other stuff I'm positive I'm forgetting. -_- It was quite the list. Definitely the best price I've seen for all this ANYWHERE. A decent ...

As it turns out, I'm able to upgrade much sooner than later! In about a month or so, I'll be able to upgrade from the 20 gallon to a 70 gallon tank. :D The manager at the local lfs store knows me well, and has given me a very good price to sell me a 70 with all the fixings included. It's very, VERY ...

Yeah, I've heard this rumor as well, quite often. :? Apparently, as the story goes, weather loaches come from an environment where burrowing in the mud is a specialty of theirs- they don't need to rely on their sight so much, due to their speedy burrowing/camoflage abilities. Something like that, an...

I feed my clowns a variety of things: Tubifex worms, blood worms, sinking wafers, cucumber (mine are not very partial to cucumber), a vitamin enriched sinking pellet, fresh shrimp, and brine shrimp.
Their favorites are of course bloodworms, and the sinking wafers.

That's phenomenal! You're very lucky! Wish I lived close to a store like that- I'd love to create a sid tank, personally.
