Loaches Online Forum

The platys and mollies are cool. I wonder when they have babies if the clowns will eat them. My guess is yes. That will bring them out of the bog wood. You'll have to report when that happens. Have fun.

The only problem I can see is that you don't have a larger pot!

It depends if your Q tank has been cycled. If yes the you could keep quite a few dithers in it IF you don't feed them much. If not then obviously there would be a cycling problem. I guess you could change the water often but that sometimes is a shock to fish. You could test the water to make sure am...

Living on a boat give you a different outlook on interior design. My house is small and full of "stuff", but I still can go up! When the clowns get too big I will get a 3-400 gallon tank and raise it so that there will be seating underneath. I already raised a bed so that there is a four foot "room ...

I kind of like Shari's suggestion of getting tetras. If you are serious about angels I would get two or three small ones and get a few more clowns. My clowns(15) come to the front of the tank whenever I walk by, they are real beggars. I can put my face right next to the tank and they come right up t...

My friends have given up betting me about ANYTHING. It's kinda like playing poker, if every time you are called you win you get to bluff more often. LOL

Living on a narrowboat would be right up my alley. The lifestyle grows on you and it's definitely difficult to give up. The bike ride was non eventful and normal for me. I flew to Minneapolis and rode it home. All my mates were certain I couldn't do it straight through, I guess they were wrong. I've...

I think the greater feeling of community comes from having to deal with different forms of adversity. It's a more refined common ground. You were always willing to pitch in, no matter what time it was, no matter what the weather was doing. I too did the biker thing back in the 60's and 70's. Last ye...

It was called a Traveller 32, a double ended ketch. We pumped our cold only water. If you were claustrophobic this life wasn't for you. Storms, rough seas, fog walking 100 yards from your car all made you that much closer to nature. Great Blue Herons on the dock, I could walk within five feet of som...

It is a task that is not as easy as it sounds as we are the messiest people in the world and the room is jammed packed with stuff, including our old computer and a huge desk and files of stuff that belong goodness knows where. :roll: Emma I guess that's why I always read your posts, because you're ...

I have one Labidochromis caeruleus, four tiger barbs and fifteen Clown Loaches in a 100 gallon five foot long tank. The loaches are starting to catch up to the Labidochromis caeruleus in size. All this guy does is make the loaches unafraid to hang out in the open. Before they hid all of the time, no...

The Arowana was in a 240 gallon. I now have two 100 gallon, one with 15 Clowns and a few dither fish, the other with six Frontosas. Some day I will get back on the water till then I will shovel snow.

Well over two feet long. It was full grown when I sold him to one of my Chinese customers when I moved onto a sailboat. I lived on the boat for twenty years ending four years ago. I still keep in touch with Tim, the guy who bought the fish, and it is doing great. We cant import them into the US anym...

When I started almost 50 years ago I realized that if I left the light on all the time I didn't need a heater. When the light died I got another and the next day all of the fish but one guppy were dead. The old bulb was 25 watts, the new one was 50 watts. I too had a fish jump out, a five inch Asian...

That was filmed on the other side of the lake, the Mafia side. I can't say any more or I might wake up next to a horse.
