Loaches Online Forum

It was there until a few days ago and she was moved about a month ago. Had to move them though.

Everyone seemed to adjust nicely to the move. However, I noticed last night that several of my females no longer have a green belly. I guess they must have aborted as I haven't seen anything unusual in the tank. Of course, the tank is 75% java moss and there's not much you can see except the adults ...

I have four in one tank wherein the larger one ventures out by himself all the time. One other will join him from time to time but I rarely see the other two unless there's food in the tank - like cukes, or zucchini. In another tank I have another 4. I see the smallest one out all the time. I wormed...

Looks just like my female Yo Yo's - leaning to one side because of the eggs. I also noticed that my heaviest female has taken to sleeping upside down now.

I currently have 3 darios in the tank with my 4 kubotais without any problems. They've been together about 6 months now.

I've got a small pleco breeding cave (tube) in one of my tanks and darn if one of the gravid female loaches doesn't wedge herself in there on her side all the time.

Try opening them up just a tad more. I like the idea and have similar stuff which it took mine forever to try before accepting it.

I've been keeping some baby ABN's in with my Yo Yo's for several months now without a problem. They've been curious a couple times but have done nothing more than just check them out. The babies were under an inch at the time.

There were fires in the area so they couldn't get to them.
They will be trying again this week. I'll keep you posted.

Yes, it does take several days for the sand to settle regardless of how much you rinse it. My last tank took a week and I carefully added the water using a plate and bowl. I've only had one tank where it's cleared up in a day. Once the sand settles, it really won't be a problem with the fish stirrin...

I'm hoping the current in my one tank isn't too strong for them. I do have plenty of plants in there so that would protect them somewhat. With any luck the Rosy Loaches will be in the US within a week. They turned up early today on an export list here and he's hoping Sunday. From what I've read on s...

True. I actually run two filters in the tank. An external FMS and another fluval internally. There's plenty of movement.

LOL I think that's what got her in this condition to begin with. I came out one morning and found 75% of the water missing in the tank and had to add a major amount of water over a very short period of time. It's been since then that she's grown so bad. She's very obviously uncomfortable. There is o...

I know we've been on this subject before but I am beginning to worry about one of my girls. She's just gotten bigger and bigger and at this point is rather uncomfortable. She actually has a problem sleeping now and when she stops to rest on the bottom tilts to one side alarmingly. She's taken to sle...

What area are they from?
