Loaches Online Forum

OK, it ended up being a 25% WC and I took out about half the remaining gravel in anticipation of removing all the gravel on Monday and replacing it with sand (I'll go in an hour early.) Everybody's OK, I even counted all six kuhlis at one time :) Ammonia's fine, pH is fine, filters & heater are work...

Yep, I'm on vacation, but calling the office every day to check with my VERY patient and incredibly kind coworker who is fish-sitting my tank while I'm off. (Testing the ammonia level and feeding.) I'm having a great time -- kayaking, going to movies, swimming, lounging, enjoying the affection of my...

Good luck with kuhlis. PetSmart says they "always" have an all-black phase, but there weren't any when I went on Wednesday. Not even a label on a tank.

I almost didn't post that one because it's not the typical "happy loach" picture. But it was interesting and I'm fairly sure that all is well (or as sure as you ever can be, dealing with live things.) When you take 56,712 photos, you're bound to come up with one or two atypical shots. Man do I love ...

Woohoo, I just got some Indian Almond leaves for my kuhlis!

But first I want to switch from gravel to sand substrate. Further bulletins as events warrant

Where are the pictures of your kuhlis?
Not that I'm biased -- OK, I am. They're my favorite.

Wow, that looks like a lot of loach fun -- for both you and them! Well done!

My favorite kuhli These guys really, REALLY like HBH Frog & Tadpole bites. He eeled in between the ADF and a piece the frog was eating.

OK, I brought home six small Ghost Shrimp (1/2 to 3/4 inch long) and tossed them in, expecting some excitement. It was a fizzle. Nobody, not even the Angelfish, is the least bit interested in the shrimp, who are quite happy to hang out in the cave with the kuhlis and frogs. Cave's getting pretty cro...

Kuhlis will eat Corydoras catfish?? They seem pretty patient with the frogs, even when sharing food.

I'm going to PetSmart today, if they have ghost shrimp I might get a couple as an experiment. There's no chance the shrimp could harm my beloved kuhlis, or the tiny ADFs?

one of the kuhlis NOT inside the cave!

new pictures, same kuhlis :) http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/kuhlisandfrogwithwafer.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/kuhlisandfrogwithwafer2.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/kuhlisandfrogwithwafer3.jpg http://i799...

Would my kuhlis enjoy snacking on a couple of ghost shrimp?

LOL, test her for steroids

Sure doesn't look like she's missed many meals lately. Is she gravid?

Today's crop of pics :) My kuhlis love Hikari Sinking Wafers! One of the frogs joined the crowd. http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/kuhlis2.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/kuhlis1.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy276/possumlady/kuhlis/ku...
