Loaches Online Forum

Hallo Menu,

This is some impressive aqua-scape, fantastic

Cheers

Keith, how are things? We are discussing your subject in a German forum and I have linked to your work here. Actually it is Olaf D's Forum, so the circle of knowhow exchange kind of closes. The question was, how strong the direct wraping of the Tunze would slow down the pump. You mentioned that in y...

I have no experience with rhinogobius(territorial?), but my s. cf. balteata don't bother anyone but each other, and i doubt that they would bother the stiphodons(which sp.?) You really never know for sure with individual fish, but it souinds fine to me. Exactly the same here, one of the tanks has 3...

Hi, check the "funny loaches thread" http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=15929&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 you can use that pic, if you like, and tell them about their habit of going into pipes (bamboo in nature, etc). http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o143/wolfram37/Clowns/CIMG0930-F.j...

Thank you odyssey, for this exciting trip report.

Congratulations on your new friends, they look fantastic, but you know that 8) great pics. I've been wondering for a moment about stingrays (Discus too actually), as there was an afordable one around, but did not buy it, as I want to finish all my other projects first. But I was SOOO tempted, I also...

You again

Herzllichen Glückwunsch!

Very interesting topic, too bad I dont't have the minutes, at the very moment, to review all the links above, but will asap. Still, trying to give some input too, even if not read by myself yet. I am also comparing the various patterns of the pores in the head, which are not the same on various boti...

Great, Congrats Tanja - Babytime is very much fun. I bought my female in 1/2 size. She ate everything, various veggies are great, try raw and blanched, melons are taken sometimes. I know fellows that keep 40 in their tank (various generations), so it seems to work. The father keeps faning the eggs a...

I did syphon out gravel (less than 1/4" corn size), that was a mess, as I tried to filter the muddy water and return to the tank. The fish could not see anything - ME NEITHER. Now I'd provide many hiding places that they can hide in for a while. The water cleared relative quickly. However the best m...

how about blowing air with a little fan (computer cooler) against the flowing direction of the water (from the surface)? Cools the water too, but enchances evaporation though.

Thanks for the link and info. I am stil planing and don't know yet for sure what way my new plant pots will turn out. Currently I am working with a mix of certain fert.-sticks for normal pot plants and liquid fert's as well as clay. During some experiments, I have divided liquid from solid via filte...

Hi bookpage, I am looking for such sheets, only thing I found around here was drip/roor rail covers (prevents pluging due to leaves), but they are expensive and the hole size is to big too. What product group are yours? I'd like to form a stable pipe from it. Pipes with such holes would be great or ...

Mine did get into substrate when ever a stone or similar, made it motivating for them to build a cave. They do get into incredible small cracks. I remember two of them being individually burried in sand/gravel - only their heads sticking out, about 1/2" apart of each other. That was in open sand/gra...

I mounted the blade of a "cutter-knive" (that's how many Germans call those knifes with disposable blades) on a fork with little bolts and washers - works great. I did clean it first with aceton, as many of them have an oil layer on them. I have the feeling, removing the algae with blades is most ef...
