Loaches Online Forum

ok its a bad pic but a cute one. we bought a little house that is a barrel of rum. he was pokin his head out this morning. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/dantecornish/IMG_25461.jpg this is tank two with all the tetras. i forgot. we have a few glass fish also. http://i55.photobucket.com/album...

i saw some yesterday that were black with white specks all over them. they were really cool looking! i don't know the name but they were not on that list of the above post. they were more black with speckles of white.

i used to have a rainbow shark. he died in 2005 from hole in the head. he looked a little different than the red tails and had irradescent rainbow colors that would reflect in the light. his fin colors were a little different as well. he had orange fins not just the red fin on the tail but all of hi...

ok i got 4 tiger barbs for dither fish.

i added a few bigger plants. i got a small clown pleco and i am giving the big pleco a new home in a week when his scratches heal up. i ordered a blue moon bulb today online because the ones at the store are around 80$.

bevans, this may help figure out your cat. i found this store that has a little description of a few cories. i will tell ya, these 4 emerald green cories i bought are having a hayday in my tank. they love the current and waterfall so much they swim up and down the tank like there is no tommorow. the...

wow, your pictures are really crystal clear. beautiful fish!

man i miss my rainbow shark. he was an awesome fish. so you have some red tail sharks and loaches side by side? i used to have them and it seemed that they were in love... yeah actually i saw them feeding the fish oranges at petsmart like that with their little fish clips. so i tried it and it works...

well i have a 30 gallon full of rasboras, glow light tetras, neons, danios, albino corys, and long fin tetras-the orange ones. one von rio tetra. i had several of these but they seem to like to be loners and kill eachother. glass fish. 4" pleco they all get along really well with eachother. the prob...

Ok, we just got rid of the 3 gold fish and one pleco. I am also going to give them the large 14" pleco because they have a 135 gallon pond. He is outgrowing this tank and a larger tank is not an option. I have had the fish for 6-7 years and it is hard to get rid of him. But I think the fish will be ...

newshound, no the 4 loaches and goldfish were in a 30 gal. i have that tank full of small tetras and cories now. I wish I could upgrade emma, however that requires buying a house or getting a bigger apartment. The rent down here is steep and its high enough for a small one bedroom. The day I buy a h...

if you read above, they were already upgraded from a 30 gallon to a 55 gallon. there is no room in the apartment for a larger tank. this one takes up half my dining room.

well, i watched two rainbow shark last night do the same dance and it looked like they were mating. in no way was it ever aggressive. i have seen the rainbow shark scrap and believe me it is much more aggressive than what this shark was doing to the loach. they were playing and rubbin on eachother. ...

sure, i usually use s mixture of distilled and tap water. i use the dechlorinization liquid available at most pet stores. My loaches look good today and I gave the tank a good 2 hour clean the other day. So tonight I am only going to do a 25% water change. I live in south florida. Any information wo...

i think one orange a week is ok. but i think anything more than that would throw the ph out of wack. one day i fed them oranges 3 days in a row and the tank turned sort of a cloudy lemonade looking color. i changed half the water. of course this could have been the gold fish secreting its nasties in...

current temps are 78 degrees in the tank at room temperature. no heater. added some plants today and 3 new green corys to accompany the lonely cory. will add loaches at a later date. the ones at pets mart today looked very thin but longer than 2".
