Loaches Online Forum

I ordered 1 too, my first ebay purchase! Thanks Keith.

Mine might eat snail eggs & tiny baby snails, I never see them but the same 2 or 3 adult ramshorns are uneaten.

Update- I am tired of water changes but it seems to have helped some & the loaches love it. The 2 rasboras with the dull gray along the dorsal base look a bit better. The 1 with the gill base spots got smaller but whiter & fuzzy but seem to be going away, on 1 side anyway. The SAE with the gray exce...

I missed your tank size but I looked into Kanaplex for a problem I'm having. The dosage is 360mg/10 gal, so for my 75g (assumed 70g actual water volume) 360mg x 7 = 2520mg per dose 2520 x 3 days of adding treatment = 7560mg (Seachem 3 day max but I have seen as many as 5 doses over 10 days) 7560mg /...

Gorgeous!

Lookin' good Casey! Good luck on the wiggly mystery

I use pool filter sand in a few tanks. It's heavier & can be vacuumed down an inch or so with a small gravel vac. With a larger vac I sort of swirl over the surface. I never lose more than a spoon full of sand if I'm not careful. For lights, it depends on what plants you want to grow & that the loac...

Very nice! How many did you get?

Wow, it's looking much better already!

More people complain they don't see their kuhlis, lol. Sometimes mine get active after a water change or weather change. Could be the garlic, I haven't tried it or read of a bad reaction. Prime is what I use too. You did what I'd do, change some water & wait to see what, if anything is going on. The...

I looked a few times last night with a flashlight, hard to find small fish. Eventually I did see the 2 rasboras with grayish top line, no goldish speckles but the gray was more dull. Can't find the 1 with the gill spots...I'll keep looking. Bad news though the "real" SAE, not the open mouth one, has...

Keith & Shari thanks for the help I haven't seen any flashing lately though I have periodically. I usually think it's a water quality issue & do a water change. I will check with a flashlight, I have never found velvet on fish. I also have diatoms & green spot type algae that don't really bother me ...

I have doubts about the health of 3 other rasboras & the crossocheilus (the non SAE) has long term issues but nothing that says columnaris to me, yet anyway. I waited to have a good look this am. Two rasboras have a pale grayish look along it's spine unlike others, hard to tell with 2 species & a co...

I recently removed a rasbora with columnaris from my sid & striata tank. All the same fish have been in the same 75g since adding denisoni barbs 9 months ago or so ago. I noticed a couple less rasboras than I thought were in there :oops: . The tank has been set up for ~2.5 years, 75g light -medium p...

Wow very cool
