Loaches Online Forum

Hey Dojosmama!

I read on that "Funny Loach Pictures" thread that you were needing some assistance with learning how to post photos, so, I PMed you some instructions. =)

Hope they help & I can't wait to see your kiddos!

Can I ask for an update here? I'm going through the same crud - treating 3 ity-bity baby clowns & 5 tetras for Ich, in a 30 gallon, fully cycled QT tank (we just upgraded to a 75 for our bigger loaches/other fish, so the tank was a perfect place to OT some more). We bumped up the heat & were trying ...

It's definitely icky ICH! Only a few more spots, but we did a big water change (30%) & a massive gravel vacuum. I didn't wan't to change too much of the water because of the salt we were trying (added slowly & want to remove slowly as well). We also very slowly (over a period of 3 hours) added the R...

So, I had an entire tank with Ich once & it was terrible I ended up losing all of them (introduced it with a moss ball - didn't realize they had some fish in the tank - let alone fish with Ich). The fish I lost were goldfish - cold water & despite aggressive treatment it just got worse & worse & it ...

LOL! I <3 this!

Aww... Nancy, I'm so sorry you lost your Yoyos. =( I'm also confused as to why this is happening 3 months post move, because I'm not personally aware of how pH & Nitrates could have anything in common? Do you have any live plants? You may want to consider adding some of them to help with the Nitrate...

That gives me some hope, redshark! Thanks. Food wise: I'm doing a mix of frozen blood worms, baby brine with spriulina, & some "immune boosting" flake food. I just put a tiny bit of each into a little medicine cup with tank water until it's thawed/waterlogged then dump it in. The tetras are usually ...

Lost another one this morning. The tiniest one. =( Feeling discouraged, but going to keep at it. The others seem vibrant, but I'm learning not to take this for granted, because the two that died went from healthy looking & active & even eating to dead in a few short minutes. I really am doing everyt...

I definitely think that adding a few more hiding places is always a good thing, too! There are at least 7 in there now, but for such young, shy fish I think you're right. I actually already have some PVC that I can cut, sand, wash & throw in there. I'll do that today! I've started my regular QT dewo...

So, at this point, 3 of the little loaches seem to have settled in quite nicely, they're schooling together & dancing up & down the side of the tank. The 4th is sort of MIA. I'm pretty sure he's hiding in a pirate skull cave that I provided for them, but I was kind of bummed not to see him/her schoo...

Hi there, Well, we have had ultimate success with moving everyone over to the new tank & we figured since the old tank is already cycled & fantastic & ready to go, why not use it to QT a couple new loaches?! So, we were looking at the LFS & OMG, heartbroken over the SUPER TEENY TINY baby clowns they...

I posted several pics of the fish & the tanks on this thread: http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php ... 46#p200393

My pictures are all kind of cut in half - IDK why that happen?

Thank you so much for the reply! They really seem to have settled down a lot. Now their little battle wounds just have to heal up. I really think all of the aggression was related to the fasting. I thought that since it would probably be stressful for them to have their tank moved that it would help...

Thanks, Will! That makes me feel much better! I'll have to take a photo once we have it all up & going & the fish have settled in =)
