Loaches Online Forum

I just got a new 300g tank that i planning on stocking with my pack of clowns, emperors, kubs, sids, histronicas, and queens. But, was wondering what would be some good dither fish that i could add? (kinda not leaning towards smaller fish like tetras or rasboras) tank specs are 96x30x24. As of right...

My loaches HATE light, the only light that i can leave on is my blue lunar light. If i turn the tank light on the hide, room light they hide even by opening the door when its day time they hide :x. The only guys that stay out are my new 1" oddball clowns and my sids. Other than that the tank looks e...

Love your loaches! I wish that all of my clowns would be out when the lights are on too! When i turn the lights on ZOOOOMMM and they are gone, the only guys that are out are my sids.

I got the same problem you got but, my tank is an 8 footer... Its cycling and cant really decide what kind of lighting im going to run on it But yeah like you the marineland LEDs caught my eye. i would love to hear some opinions or experiences others have with these kinds of lights. Thanks!

Thanks guys for the replies! Tony so, from black and white to brown color? As they age their coloration change?

Nobody?? might be getting them sooner than expected thats why...

My clowns are in that ballpark but, i feed mine them NLS 1mm, tropical flakes (can't seem to get them off of it), algae wafers, and sometimes treat with frozen bloodworms.

Might be able to get a hold of some (if i can afford them) but, before i do does anybody have info on these guys. Been looking on the web and can't find a good site that has adequate info on them. Or does anybody have personal experiences with them? Any info would be great thanks in advance!

Sorry for jumping to another subject... But thank you diana for clarifying that up with me.

Just recently acquired some of these guys and boy are they expensive here in hawaii... But well worth the $$ got 4 to add to my 125g tank. They spark it up by constantly foraging for food along side of my sids.

So what if you run a UV constantly in your tank? will it kill any parasite in the tank and in the fish?

I'm guessing pretty much everyones loaches tend to hide for the most part? Because mine only seem to stay out if i don't turn the lights on. Once the light go on ZOOOOM right into their caves and under the wood.

wow 2 feet! wouldn't mind seeing pics of those guys lol. but yeah at a LFS there were these guys that, had a longer snout and weren't as deep as other clowns i've seen. Or is it that im just used to the "fat" clowns i have thanks guys

Are there different kinds of clowns? I have often seen the elongated type but, more often seen the more "plump" clown... Just recently i've seen a bunch of clowns that range from 6-8" that had longer snouts and weren't as deep as most clowns... sorry can't find pics of these

well that seals it then... A new project... setting up another tank but this (125g) was suppose to be for my tanganyika's. Or a 30g good enough? what else would be good with the kuhlies? Thank you
