Loaches Online Forum

Humans, that is...we're exposed to the germs alot, but only when we're already having lower immune systems, will we actually develop it.... I'm really grateful that I had not moved my betta, Sid, into the big tank prior to seeing the ich outbreak...I was planning on doing it that night! He's safe an...

We cycled using plants & live substrate, I think that's what it's called? And 2 female bettas.... We have added two loaches recently and Mr. Plecostomoose (very small bn) ; I guess it came with them. Mr. P is showing no signs thank god.... Seriously have to get a quarantine tank....money is tight th...

Only showing on the goldens' fins, not bad, but that's what we thought last time right before we lost a golden loach, horribly.... Have a UV filter now, and am treating ICH at 1/3 prescribed with meds, no carbon, lower water level, higher temp, and extra oxygenation. Stats are great in water; testin...

Is there a way to ignore a member completely on LoL? So I would never see their posts?

The loaches and other fish don't know that they are food. I pick them out when I can, but with such a deep tank, I can't get them ...

Hi Chrissy!
What about making a post in the "non fishy forum" here..? I sure would like to see any projects that might be cool/financially helpful! And I KNOW that the people on LoL are some smart cookies, so you'll all probably have some great projects...

I found a couple of gorgeous youtube vids which showed golden loaches spawning behavior and actual egg release. what a privilege to see this....but it made me very sad, as well. My first two goldens were doing this same thing for a week or so....then the male got ill and died. The synchro swimming i...

Thanks for the advice. I will let them be then, they are otherwise healthy and happy, I think .

Thank you for the info everyone. I'm thinking of putting him in this weekend; if he doesn't like it then I'll put him back in his private tank (no it's not a paper cup)...he lurves his 2.5 gallon and all the fake plants in there )

Hi there,
Saw your tanks, I Love your substrate!!! And your tanks look very nice, I hope the new gal is ok so far (I know it's only been a day but still

And i think that mankind is the only species to practice it.
Small wonder that I *MOSTLY* think people just plain suck.
