Loaches Online Forum

Those are very interesting. There are clown loaches with unusual markings but they are still clown loaches. I like the unusual markings, makes the clown loaches very unique.

So glad Baby Girl made it through the illness. I've had cories swim at the top when they want to eat floating food. So am I. I can actually relax and not worry about her. It was scary to see her at the top of the tank and swimming oddly and such. But I am so glad that she is all better and is actin...

So sorry for your loss. I understand how it is to lose a beloved fish. I remember when I lost two clown loaches and they were juveniles. It was when my mom had to flea bomb the house. I covered the tank and I also put my betta that I had under the sleeping bag that I covered the tank with. When we g...

Yep Baby Girl is completely recovered from the three illnesses she had. She is very happy and hanging out at the bottom of the tank now. Man I was scared of losing her, I am glad that I didn't lose her. Hopefully she will live a very long time with me. It feels so good when you pull a sick fish thro...

I completely understand. My clowns used to hide when I get close to the tank. Now they are curious as to wait I am doing when I am near the tank.

When Baby Girl, my biggest clown loach, was sick, I was in tears because I thought that I would lose her. One day I was crying and sitting next to the tank, she saw that I was upset so she held a plastic plant leaf with her fin, in the middle of the tank. She also bit the top of a plastic plant. She...

Pictures please!

I would love to see a four striped clown loach.

Hi loachlover77 , yes please, that would be great. Do you know how old your big one is, how big? Oh didn't know about the peas. Do I need to cook them first? Yes I understand only too well about the tears, my big girl is a real part of the family. I just feed mine raw peas, they were the fresh ones...

My biggest clown loach displayed the floating behavior also when she was sick. I gave her some peas and she slowly recovered. The peas I would give her every day, just a few, and she would be fine. The odd swimming is swim bladder disease, which can be cured. Is she hanging out at the top of the tan...

First of all: if she has only one clown loach in the tank, she needs to get a few more like four more. Second: the temp has nothing to do with what is going on with her clown loach. Third: Is her clown loach covered in something that looks like it was sprinkled in gold dust? If so, this is known as ...

Thank you very much ClownLoachSharky.

I like the plastic plants. I have a bunch of them and I always put them in my aquariums. They are cheaper and last longer than real plants.

Well I have some wonderful news for everyone: my biggest clown loach who was sick for about 3 to 4 weeks has improved greatly. She is not hanging at the top of the tank anymore, she is swimming upright now. She went through swim bladder issues after she had a fungus infection and ich. I am very prou...

What type of loach do you have?

I agree that the more info you provide the better able we are to help you with this situation.

Thank you EmilyMarie85. I will do that with the temp. Baby Girl is improving, she is a fighter that is for sure. I just hope that she keeps improving.

I have tried to do a search on the veggies that they can have and I don't get anywhere.
