Loaches Online Forum

australia mate. Wow everyones in the us

sounds nice. if you want good plant ideas check out Dustinsfishtanks on youtube. hes got over 5000 subs but has a little potty mouth . He knows his plants and has a nice looking 220 gallon.

you clean it by light
y hovering over the top. about an inch or so. It dosent need hard sucking like gravel as it falls on the top. I was actually gonna go buy a couple of bags myself. By the way, where are you from?

for people i think its food and exercise. for loaches, frequent water changes and hikari food.

arent histies rare in nz?

haha, marcos clown heaven is the best. He inspired me to get yoyo loaches with those stunning large specimins he had.

lucky for you, you can get more cause their not illegal like in aus or nz. I hope to someday get a lucky histie sold as a yoyo.

yoyos are round so often here. maybe cause were close to malaysia and indonesia where the farms are. Icould probably get at least 100 in one day by doing some shop runs. And i dont think they will properly shoal.

a year isnt too bad. just keep the water changes going once or twice weekly and you should be ok. i mean, ive heard of someone ho had his clowns in a 3ft 45 gallon tank from baby to 25cm! he did super regular water changes so i guess that stops them from stunting.

well i have 2 rostrata that were sold to me as yoyo.

wow thats cool.

are histies and zebras illegal in nz like aus?

i dont reccomend blasting sand for loaches and corys. its extremely sharp and can damage their barbels and bellies. Try pool filtration sand its rounded and looks nice. Also for the kubotai try live aquaria or franks aquariums. Thry are great US sites selling loaches.

well ive heard they have a growth spurt in the first year and then growth slows. It might be better off upgrading asap. And welcome!

Wow i thought they were terrestrial or have they grown out your tank?
