Loaches Online Forum

That is an interesting thought Jim. I was kinda thinking that myself.

I have 3 of them now and 2 of them just seem a bit different than the other 1. I don't know if it is due to the size difference as 1 is very large but they just seem different.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. :lol: ... now how do i tell the wife I need to add a third, BIGGER tank :?: :shock: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds, two fish tanks.... it sorta violates the ark formula we appear to be following at present.

Power heads are really a personal choice.. you will get a lot of different opinions on what is best. I have one zoo med rotating one in one of my hilly tanks I like it just for the rotation feature.. I have a small rio in that tank also. I don't like the rio at all. I have a marineland one in the Ch...

Check Target or any place that sells pools filter sand should work for you too.

That one with the red on it's side is amazing!

You have some beautiful fish.

yep..your doomed.. I started into fish again with dwarf puffers.. then I ran into sewellia's oh boy. multiple tank upgrades and a few new tanks..I am officially loach obsessed.

A 20 is way to small for YoYo's they will get large. I didn't believe what they say about their size until I actually saw a full size adult in person. Now if you already have a pleco in a 20 you are already overstocked a common pleco will get BIG.. I have seen 18 inch ones and they do get bigger. I ...

Thanks I would appreciate that. I don't mind driving that far as long as I know they have them..

That is a nice setup. I would agree with Jim that looks like a male and female to me. Hopefully you will get lots of little hillies.
