I heard of both of them, altough Zajac is still far for me, Enschede is much closer but i will have a look at it when we have saved enough up. the tank we want wont be cheap.

To start off proper, what a great site

I,m Michael from the Netherlands, quite a newbie in this great hobby
and the very proud owner of 2 tanks, a Rekord 60 and a Vision 180
in that same Vision we (me and my girl) keep 10 Yasihukotakia Sidthimunki
and 4 Beaufortia Leveretti Kweichowensis (and other none Loach related fish offcourse)
I,m really in love with the Hillstream Loaches and ordered some Sewellia's and Gastromyzon's
I have a relatively high current and excellent oxygenation and as the Kweicho's are doing really great so far, i think the others should be just fine

The dream is a big (5 or 6 ft.) hillstream tank purely for the 3 mentioned species.
But as our house is too small for that i,ll keep the dream alive by keeping a small amount of them in the Vision 180

Also, the Sidht's are very nice fish to keep, amazing behaviour.
I really saw em come to live when i added 6 to the existing 4
might even add some more in the future

Hi Michael,

Welcome to Loaches Online, and thank you for the great feedback.

Would love to see some photographs of your tank and your loaches at some point.

A full view of both tanks (as they have just been decorated with more plants and wood)

Hello, from Phoenix, Arizona. I've been lurking for several months and decided to go ahead and jump in! Lots of great info here and I've learned quite a bit. I've been a fishhead for over 20 years (focused mainly on African Cichlids) and am finally in a position to allow MTS to run rampant.

I've always enjoyed the antics of clown loaches (used to work in an aquarium store.....like, a lifetime ago) and finally have the time/space/means to set up a proper environment for them...as well as a few other loach species that intrigue me. I'm looking forward to taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge and experience available here.

hello,
I'm jeremy i have 20years and I'm Belgian. I have some tank, a Rio 180 l with pangio khulis, danio(choprae, tw03) and hillstream loaches (scitulus and leveretti), 20l with betta and a 60l with tetra and cory(hastatus). I'm sorry for my English

...I hope I will improve my English and my information about loaches.
My futur project is to create a "biotope" tank for a sidthimunki shoal.

Welcome bic!

Not to worry about your english. Many here are from non-english speaking countries.

And a late welcome to loachcoach, too!

I've used this site off and on for years, just never seem to have much time for posting as I'm always too busy reading and learning!!

Thanks for having such a great international resource!

Hi all.

I'm Rodrigo. I'm 26 yr's old and live in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
I've been a loach enthusiast since later 80's. In that time, someday i went to uncle's house to see his new fishes. That was the first i saw clown loaches i got addicted into that funny and lovely fishes.
Btw i've never kept loaches myself until this year. I'm planning to setup a 350+ liter rivertank for clowns, yoyos and my corys (my other passion).
Today i have a 70 liter tank to grow 2 yoyos and 4 clowns (they just quited quarantine time). The clowns are 2'' while the yoyos are 3.5''.
I found this page on google long ago and have read almost every loach topic and articles. My idea is to collect as much information i can before build my rivertank.

I hope you help me!
PS: I'll post pictures of my little ones soon...

HI. My name is Karena. I'm in Tucson, AZ right now. I got my first loach about a year ago. She's a gold weather loach. I've since bought two more and they all keep me very entertained. Whenever I figure out how to post some pictures, I'll try to get some up.

Hello Everyone!

Yay, so glad I got to this forum - so much info and everyone actually appears to know what they are talking about!!

I'm from Cape Town in South Africa and have been into the fish hobby for about 8 months now and have been doing quite well. Had a few casualties, but have by little scaly babies that I love so very much. Never knew fish could be this special and seem to have little personalities of their own!

Only have 1 clown loach at the moment which has been with me for about 7 months and his/her (?) name is Bonti. It's behaviour never fails to amuse me and my mom refers to herself as its grandma already!

Anyways, will stop yapping now. Nice to be a member now!
