Loaches Online Forum

Very sorry to hear the bad news Vance. I was just getting to know your gorgeous Beauforti from your photos. He was a beauty and it appears that you provided him with a very long and pampered life.

Best of luck with your new babies.

Site is starting to shape up nice Mike! Looking good

How's those splendida doing? Did you ever put up any pics??

Any possibility of putting a gutter on the part of the roof that would drain into the pond and directing the runoff somewhere else?

Marcos - That's a clever setup you have going there! Moving buckets around will kill anybody's back and sooner or later there is always going to be a spill. 8) I have my own unique setup going that avoids lugging any water around.

Would that be the winged type wild turkey or the missing soon to be ex Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin type turkey?

Gorgeous Fish - Good luck Matt!!

Gorgeous Fish - Nice Pics - Thanks!!

I don't know what the effect is, but it is possible that boiling it might actually cause it to release chemicals that would otherwise be inert at...

I think I would take him back. He isn't going to be a good mix with the oscar and the severums, and usually 5 clowns is the minimum for them to be happy. Or set up a new tank to the conditions for clown loaches and get a bunch of them and then you can really enjoy what great fish they are. There is ...

Looking good Dave! Sorry about your skinny - but as you said, that's an assumed risk. The tank looks great and that driftwood has cleaned up nice.

Congrats on a very well thought out setup!
