Wow, I find them all the time at my LFS and I haven't paid above $9 for a loach. The most expensive loach I ever bought was a Sid at $8.99. I bought a nice big fat 4" yoyo from there for $7. (you can actually see my big fatty in my Avatar)LoachOrgy wrote:nice tank. i want some fat yoyos. but they cost 21 bucks and petsmart is the only place that has them.
I LOVE my LFS

Seriously understocked - my tank's half the size and probably has twice the number of inhabitants

Angelfish do not get 'Lonely' as a single.
They are a territorial fish and get 'angry' at an intruder that will not leave.
They will pair up and form a pretty strong pair bond, most often 1M + 1F, though 2 females can pair up temporarily.
Note the different water preferences, though: Angels and other flat sided fish (Discus, Silver Dollars...) are from calm, or slowly moving waters. Most Loaches are from fast moving water. To get the water moving fast enough for Loaches leaves little room for the Angels. They seem to do OK if there are places where the water is calmer.
I would add more caves, arches of driftwood and similar places, and a lot more plants. The sids will be up front a lot more, and swim higher in the tank if there is a back ground of plants for them.

38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!

hi you all,
The tank has some calm water places for the Algelfish. He is kind of agressive when the loaches try to swim near him, but its ok.
The Sids love to swim in front of the tank because of the Korallia pump.
I'll add more plants, and i'm looking for Higrophila Corymbosa. A friend told me that his loaches doest like the taste of this plant.
I've made a new video.
