Loaches Online Forum

same with my yoyos. i thought he was dead but was squished underthe driftwood

shouldnt be a problem. the small ones should school and the big one will join eventually. every time i add new yoyos the new ones will hang by themselves until they go to the others

not really. i had an aggressive yoyo but as i added more yoyos he got calmer

sorry but i cant view your pic

thats why i suggested minerilized top soil. Its not that different to flourite or those other over priced soils. Just cap it and you should be fine really. Dustinsfishtanks has clown loaches in his 220 gallon with rainbows, good flow, dirt and plants. His clowns are vibrant as marines.

nice. if ou want good growth look look up minerilized top soil.

my mum would never let me do that. she complains with a couple of packs of martins frozen food

Also for big plant roots get some pottery clay and mix it with blood and bone and jam it alround the substrate

be careful though. you might leach something into the water

why not live aquariua. you have cool online sites and here in aus we have about one

it might be the nutrients leaching into the water from the soil. you only need one inch of soil for plants to thrive well and it might not be capped well enough and bottom feeders might eat the soil?

My two big females gray out and "fight" occasionally but are always back on friendly terms straight afterwards. When hand feeding I notice the popping sound is synonymous with a strong sucktion. I think the sound is produced due to cavitation - the production of a shock wave. Thanks redshark. I'm t...
