Loaches Online Forum

I used to have Carbon all the time in my fish tank filter w/Clowns and did not see any effect it's only when my mew loaches came that I notice that problem you were talking about.

I was going on the info I found on this page. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~NV39446.html It may not say that on your label. Let's hope you never need to use it, but it's nice to know that there are safe meds for our favorite fish. Welcome to the forum. :wink: Thanks for the link ...

Hello, I have never used it, but the product info says that it is safe for loaches. I would feel safe to use it on my own fish. :) did it say that I was trying to look for that in the label....must check it again but thanks a lot for the response....my fish does not have ick right now kock on wood ...

Nobody has an answer

I just saw this medication earlier and was curious if it was safe to use it for Clown Loaches? it say's 100 % Organic.

Wow nice odd ball pattern on those loaches.

good to hear that cause I was planning on doing black gravel.

I was just wondering if the color of the substrate (Black) affects the behavior of a Clown Loach in a way?

Thanks for your info guys.

No, it's not. First of all, crushed corals appear too rough for the clown loaches to be used as a substrate. Second, it has calcium carbonate that will increase the pH and KH of the water chemistry which the clown loaches may not be able to tolerate long-term even if they are able to adapt to it. Y...

What's the name of the medication you use for ICK?

Is it not really ok to use crushed corals as a substrate for clown loaches?
