Loaches Online Forum

Do you guys name your loaches? We have been coming up with a few. Since they all have distinquishable habbits we can tell each one apart. We havn't finished naming them yet but we are throwing around a few names. 1)one has a spot on his fin, he is spot 2)flipper-looks like a dolphin 3)twins as we ca...

I think I found someone who is going to take my 55 gallon. so now i am looking for 75 gallons. i may do a complete theme renovation on the new tank once i get it. probably going with more natural and woody with some stacked rocks.

they are so bright as babies. wow they look really good!

awesome. i bet you can fatten him up in a week or two!

yeah this morning all of them were out and about. they always run when i take out the camera though. they finally had the guts to come out and stay out! lol..

lol, yeah they really like it. actually they do this swimming up and down pattern more early in the morning. its really interesting. the light went out and all of the cherry barbs are schooling in the corner together in one tight nit bunch.

I saw these two loaches doing it. I have another pair that does this but they keep a tiny space between them the entire time. they will lightly nip eachother but keep doing it. In this video they run away from eachother. when i saw the other pair do it they wouldn't run away. they would tail eachoth...

the watermelon i had, had white seeds but i took out all the seeds. i only feed them small pieces. and take it out after about two hours.

yeah i give em cucumber, watermelon, ccantelope, oranges. can't hurt. did they eat the entire piece?

the cherry barbs and the cories and loach are all getting along very well. soon this week i am going to giveup my 14" pleco to a good new home. he is moving to a 135 gallon tank. i hope all is well!

one of my smaller loaches has a spot on his fin that is black. i think its like a birth mark. i call him spot for this reason! lol

They loved it! They didn't really like it before but my one loach 'flipper' loved it to death. he chomped on it for hours. i noticed in the morning almost the entire piece was gone. I also tried watermelon, they liked it as well but dunno if all the loaches had a taste.

yeah i have often have problems with fish from petsmart. they always seem very stressed. however, the new petsmart that just opened takes better care of their fish.

in wall 800 gallon saltwater with some sharks!

i fed my pleco and loaches some watermelon today. the loahes picked at it a little bit but the pleco tore it up. he then commenced pooing red! at first i was worried and then i remembered the watermelon!
