Loaches Online Forum

Well after a week, I can report I have made these little guys about 15% fatter than they were. I can see their bulging bellies!

So far, they seem very healthy and playful. All 5 play all day chasing eachother. Two of them are a bit smaller than the other 3 at about 1.5" but they are very healthy looking and have plump bellies.


They eat cucumber, salad shrimp, brine shrimp, white mesquito larvae, bloodworms, sinking pellets and least of all they eat the hikari algae wafers. This must have been what they were fed the entire time at the lfs. Next try is going to be squash today.

They really enjoyed the thera +a anti parasitic non medicated sinking pellets. Each pellet is just about bite size for these little guys.

Stop his diet that until it will be blast while to still getting fat and you will loss to him very soon so please. With the food of this fish as in the jar of the water you are putting on big assignments some precautions with the instructions have.

It is rather tiresome that we are getting spammed so much.

It is also surprising as there is so little traffic on the forum.

I just joined the forum so I’ll do my best to create some action lol!
I recognize you from Fishlore where I post as ReFishkeeper. Although I may change my user name over there to Basil also. That is the name of my very dear, retired horse. Yes, I am a returning fish keeper but it’s such a generic user name.

Great. I hope your fish do well and you get a lot of enjoyment from them.
