Loaches Online Forum

So, I sort of chickened out on getting the canister style filter. So, I opted for 2, Aqueon 55/75 HOBs that cycle 400gph, each. Not only do canister filters seem very intimidating to me but my fish really love to swim in their waterfall. We call it a "slide" & really enjoy the soothing sounds from i...

I have a third question! LOL... sorry! #3 - So, not right away, but eventually we'd like to add to the number of fish we have. I'm wondering what sort of tank mates would intermingle with our current tank mates? Currently we have: 4 - Clowns 1 - Yoyo 1 - Albino Bristlenose pleco (this fish is a boog...

Hey everyone, So, we finally got all of the goodies we need for our new 75 gallon bow-front tank! We're upgrading from the 29 gallon tank that the big box "fish expert" said would be "more than enough" for my clowns who "wouldn't ever get much bigger" - HA! Anyway, so since the new tank is going in ...

It says that loaches can emi...

UPDATE!! My Yoyo finally started to look like a normal fish! I'm not sure what did it? It could have been the medicated food from Angels Plus, my healthy tank environment, good foods & appropriate feeding schedule, or all of the above (probably). Anyway, he's doing great he just LOVES my clowns & od...

I purchased & used these foods. My opinion, is that they work wonderfully!! However, I used much more of the levamisole flake than he suggested. He suggests doing it once then again in 3 weeks, then you're done. Well, I ended up using it every 3 weeks for a total of 3 times & now I throw it in month...

So, can anyone weigh in for an 80 gallon tank regarding which is best - canister or HOB? I'd really like to benefit from the Black Friday sales on DrsFosterSmith.com. My little loach family is doing super good... the biggest is almost 3 inches now & it's time for my to upgrade my tank. I have the ta...

I love it!! He's gorgeous & I'm glad you saved him!

Hey everyone!! Sorry to have two topics going at once, but I feel like they're pretty different & deserve their own threads. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds - I appreciate the help & difference accounts based on experience a great deal. I really love my fish! So, I used to have a huge lush ...

Thank again for another wonderful reply!! I received the food I ordered from Angels Plus & today they had their 3rd feeding of Praziquantel. I decided to start with this because I had already used that Levamisole that MAY or MAY NOT have been expired? Either want I didn't want to OD them - although ...

Beautiful reply... Thank you very much! I have ordered a anti-parasitic/antibiotic/immune booster master pack of foods sold by Angels Plus (on eBay just search levamisole & the guy's store will come up - Aaron Bragelman sp?) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fish-Flake-Medications-All-In-One-Levamisole-De-Wor...

Hi there, Just wondering what specific products you recommend for skinny disease. I have some levamisole but I'm wondering if it's expired. I reconsituted it about 8 months ago. Since it's been in a dark bottle in the fridge. I tried some last night but no effects yet. I'm worried because my Yoyo th...

OMGoodness!! Glad you were able to answer your own question. How are the fish doing? Did you get the worm population under control?

RIght on... thanks again for the support. <3

ALSO for teaching me how to post photos <3 I think I'll post some of the rest of my fish now too!!

ACK!! Sorry! I'll try again... thank you for the tips. So, you think he's okay looking? I thought he looked a little sickly & bloated? If not then great!! Leavmisole was prophylatic then LOL! I'll keep you guys updated & thank you so much for being patient & kind to me! Amanda =) http://i1362.photob...
