Such a good Loach Mom you are.........

Thank you Nancy, Keith, OneWay, Ashleigh, Mick and Tinman!

I'm glad my daughter saw him at the store. It'll be fun watching him grow.

Tinman, your post made me laugh, but I laughed harder the time you called me a parasite.

the two times I have seen/ bought dario's from a store they have looked VERY poor. Half of them died in the qtank
I personally don't think they should be mixed with any mellow corys.
dario have grit!

I agree 100%. I quickly separated them when I realized that he was going to be a pest (stress) to them. He's quite a fiesty little thing; he has a lot more spunk than my kubotai have.

It never occurred to me that Dario are a problem with Cories. Whoops. I have three small Dario in my grow out tank with 10 Cories. Everybody's growing out.

I also have large Dario with many Cories in my main tank without problems. I must be really lucky (as well as still learning my fish rules).
