Loaches Online Forum

Yep, I'm back After Albert and the gang passed, I actually turned the 125g into a Tropheus tank. I have a beautiful group of Duboisi that breed just enough to keep me in little spotty babies

However, fate took a twist and the tank sprung a tiny leak. The front right seal apparently pulled away just enough to cause a tiny leak, but it was enough to make me to drain and reseal the tank.....so the Trophs got moved and I had the 125g available once again. Couldn't handle it. A year is too long....I let it settle, get reseeded and established, then I picked up 6 3" clowns

I ended up adopting 3 more, and my entire group has returned :) Yep, I'm a happy camper

Anyway, just wanted to say "HI" to all you fine folks and express my joy

I have a couple questions, but I'll post them seperately

Hello, I am new to your forums but have been using the info from the loaches on line website since I started with loaches.

Its like I have been reading the websites advice and admiring the photos and now actually chatting with the oricles of knowledge, I am truly in awe.

Love the photo of Albert, I wish my loaches were so tame.

Well, you can consider many of the fine folks here as Oracles, but I'm just a fanatic

Thanks for the compliments on Albert I SURE miss him. Teaching them to hand feed is easy, but can take time. Having other less timid fish is always a plus. I have a couple small severums that have been eating from my fingers. The new clowns watched for weeks, then decided I wasn't gonna grab them, I guess. Just the last couple weeks they have started nibbling from my fingers and I couldn't be happier

Congrats on getting new loaches.

yeah, what chefkeith said

its good to see you about again

Congratulations on the new tank. 125 Gallon must be wonderful. Pictures would be appreciated. I would like to see it.

Thanks everyone and good to see ya'll again, too I really missed this place...and my Loaches

I will get some pics posted for ya'll to see. Unfortunately my work blocks Photobucket (and just about everything else ) so I have to do it from home. That means I can't even see the pics that are posted here by everyone from work.....I wanna quit

The 125g has been around here for a few years, hence the leak, I assume? Probably didn't help that I stacked a hundred pounds of rock in it But, the reseal is holding great with no issues at all. Took a bit of time and effort, but WELL worth it to save the cost of having someone else do it, OR buying another tank

Glad to see that your back with some new loach friends

Looking foward to pic's of the new family members
