Loaches Online Forum

I will check. I have 3 shops with in a 3 mile radius of my home. If I use the sand that loaches love, how do I clean it? Right now, I vacuum my gravel when it starts to collect to much brown algae and waste. Thank you all for your responses to my endless stream of questions. My appreciation, and tha...

It more then helps. My thanks Emma. I wanted to get expert opinons before I subjected more fish to unfavorable conditions. Since Kuhli's are my first obsession, I will satisfy myself with expanding my Pangio population. As I am off after Friday for 9 days, I hope to have the tank set up and cycling ...

I would place a new filter set up on my 15 gallon if the tank wasn't such a weird shape. Any idea what the cycle time would be if I tried fish-less? I am for anything that will get my tank cycled in the safest and quickest way possible. Thanks for the advice Starsplitter. :) You are fortunate then C...

Greetings all, I have been contemplating adding at least 5 Yasuhikotakia nigrolineata to the 55 gallon tank I am going to be getting Friday. The tank will eventually hold at least 4 kuhli loaches, 4 rummy nose tetras, 4 black neons, 2 green cories, 2 white clouds, 3 guppies, and 2 otto's. I plan on ...

What are good fish to cycle a 55 gallon setup? I was told to use black tetras in my 15 gallon set up.

I will post pics as soon as I have the tank (it is on order along with a stand). I have had to settle on a 55 gallon. I will have the setup in my possession this Friday and will have it set up shortly there after. Pics to follow.

"That's it? Oh yeah no where near close to the quota. 4 dogs 4 cats 1 Beardy 1 Degu 4 tanks." Thing is, the village I live in has a restriction on the number of dogs and cats I am allowed to keep with out a permit. If I had my way I would have at least 5 more beagles. Since I am at my limit, I conte...

Thanks Rychek.
I am lobbying for the 125 gallon right now. It is beneficial that I have a wife that likes animals and can be easily persuaded in this regard

Well, up here in WI I go to Aquatics Unlimited. Not sure if they ship, but they are the only supplier of viable Kuhli's around here. My standard shop wont carry them any more do to a series of poor stock from their normal suppliers. Aquatics might ship them. This is their site: http://www.bestfish.c...

Thank you Zmo! I am looking at either a 75 gallon or a 125 gallon setup currently. Your advice is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you to Tanya, Mark, and Emma for your responses! Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. :lol: ... now how do i tell the wife I need to add a third, BIGGER tank :?: :shock: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds, two fish tanks.... it sorta violates the ark formula we appear to be following at present. Th...

"Impressive... most impressive"

Congraulations! Now if only you could share your secret! My dream is to be able to breed Kuhli's to share with my local store, as they have stopped ordering them due to poor quality suppliers.

Hello all, I am a new member, but have been lurking here for a few weeks. Love this site, although it has helped fuel my loach obsession. :oops: I have been a Kuhli Loache-aholic for about 30 years. I have always had at least 4 kuhli's in my tanks at any gvien time over the years. Recently I read th...
