Loaches Online Forum

my largest loach spends most of her days hiding....i dont get it... all the others are out and about swimming and playing but she dont come out at all....only to feed a little but thats it never to swim

well it was a tad too big of a shrimp it was a tiger shrimp you know the really big ones...but i found that all of them were eating except the really big one..she eats it every once in a while but she spends all day hiding

o i see well i got 9 loaches in a tank and 8 are about 2-3 inchs and one is 7 inch

wont that be bad? ammonia and such? and nevermind they started eating it but it takes them forever they have been working on it for a long time and still have not gotten far

i just boiled some shrimp and stuck it in my tank and my loaches dont seem very interested in it any help?

i have nothing in the tank right now...im doing a fishless cycle...and no no pics im trying to find a camera...my mom hid it somewhere lol im still living with my parents bc im still in high school just in case you were wondering

yes...i did and now that i think of it...it was not a smart choice but i think i may have lucked out this time and i have learned my lesson and thank you for your time and patience in helping me

i am still treating the tank and its like week 2 and everyone is still happy and the meds arent affecting no one and the last time a saw a spot was about 1 week ago

yes everything is cycled properly thank you....and i fed some mysis shrimp and i came back he was out and everything....thats what i was planning on doing all in one go treatment tank....everyone seems healthy and no signs of stress....colors are vibrant too..breathing is normal and such..

hi...yesterday I couldnt resist so i bought a 6-7in clown loach....i starte my 90 gallon tank and everything so i can put it in but until then my 55gallon is acting as a QT....but heres the thing he looks healthy swims around and such but doesnt eat all the other loaches ate the same night they were...

well aint that just dandy...well ill finish off the last bottle of cycle and then buy some new stuff but yeah ill start using the new maracide i got today bio spheres

well its day 7 now and im going to change the water and use "cycle" for nitrafying bacteria...my fish seem to be doing very well...should i add more medication or should i just stop the medication all together?

it has been 5 days of treating and though i cannot see any visible specks of ich ...i do see my loaches flashing the sand and im gettin worried..anyhelp?

really? i read in one of the forums it was but thats a relief to hear

i have an old one and it does not seem to be having any effect i wont be able to make a trip to buy new maracide till wednesday cause of school and denistry shadowing sigh...anything else i should be aware of?
