Loaches Online Forum

i have had both a fluval 204 and 304 on a 40 gallon and either are fine. i was happier with the 304 and didnt really have a problem with flow rate. best place to find fluvals is ebay in my experience. if you are patient you can find 404s for 100 bucks, 304s for around 60-70 and 204s for 50ish. i got...

i adopted a 2 inch RTBS and cant decide which tank to put him in. its either the 75 gallon heavily planted with 15 sids and 12 odessa barbs along with a few oddballs or the 240 "loach tank". i have 6 balas and 2 true flying foxes in the 240 so im not so sure how that would work. i know they can be t...

is this a new botia or something else?

i ve seen many of my loaches do this but looks more like a show of dominance. they try and create a sense of force near another fish to show how powerful they are.

after seeing this post i had to check my local petsmart. sure enough that had some really good kubs. there were at least 3 that were over 3" so i had to buy the biggest one. never seen them for sale in my area at this size. kubs are probably my favorite fish with histronicas as a close second. aweso...

wow 79 views and no responses huh ? not even a hello and welcome to the forums? geez thats not very loachtastic.

i regularly read this forum and have posted a few times before the forum moved but figured now was a good time to log back in. i have a 240 with 12 kubs, 7 yoyos, 7 clowns, 9 striatas, 5 histironicas, 1 tiger, 2 skunks, 6 zippers (have spawned 2 babies), 2 horsefaced, a few balas and 14 or so rainbo...
