Loaches Online Forum

We do like Nancy. We start off by taking out water, then we put in Easy Life, and then just pour fresh water from buckets straight from the tap (no RO, but I will get one). We've had no chlorine/chloramine related deaths what so ever.

What kind of fish is the first and second one?

would you say they are generally needy fish or sensitive fish? because i want to put 5 of them in with 1 peppermint peppermint will be added today and the loaches next week or would that be too much for the fish tank? Not needy, but we've found that they are picky about their food. We've got one wh...

thanks for that guys~ i would like to get clowns but the get big but i want to get yoyo loaches because they are not that big and they will eat the pond snails and i thought yoyo loaches stayed around the middle levels which made them an unusual loach They do swim a lot in the middle, but generally...

Sorry to hear that. Losing fish is never easy, especially when it could be prevented. My girlfriend accidently killed a platy-fry a while back and she's not recovered yet!

Nice tank! What's that black fish in the center of the tank in the beginning? (the smaller one)

I don't know if it's a huge problem, but you have a lot of bottom-dwellers. As Diana said, Yoyo's (and many other loaches) need to be at least 5 to be happy, and that means that you have 13 bottom-dwellers. Probably not a big deal, especially if you have lots of caves and hide-outs, but it's worth t...

I wouldn't repair such a large crack. I'm sure it could be done properly, but I wouldn't get any sleep at all. If I were in your position, I'd get the bottom replaced by someone who either build aquariums, or work with similar type glass-constructions, or buy a new tank. I can promise you that the c...

Wow, all problems are just piling up on you. Lucky for you that your cat was awake.

:lol: I've stripped tanks down to the bare bottom in panic several times, picking through gravel and filter media. Only once did I not find everyone -- one of my beloved ADFs, whom I suspect the angelfish ate. One time I lifted out the big plastic log to clean it, not realizing a kuhli was inside! ...

We've got three kuhlii's, and only one of them come out for feeding and such. He had not been out for a month until like a week ago. Now he's out searching for food regularly. I haven't checked the filter yet, but I suspect that they are hiding underneath our anubia (like the active one does when no...

I found sid's on a Swedish shop's page, and they wanted like $15 for one, so you've found quite a deal!

Wow! You can even see the tiny little scales on the fish!

Merry christmas everybody!

Wow, he must have been hungry! Which one of the angels got under?
