Loaches Online Forum

All fish back in tank, spots had dropped off of the loach in the jug already. The serpaes and Tigers look very healthy, so do 2 of the loaches. The only fish still unaccounted for is the final loach, I have not seen him for a week nearly. This normal or is he likey to be dead under a rock soomewhere...

How much is a low dose? 50% everyday or less that that?

I was thinking that the fish is infected is infected with store ich. If only one fsh had only one spot then should that spot have fallen off it would take at least a week before the spots would appear on other fish from it. The single fish is about the right size for the jug. The lack of filtration ...

I bought 3 tiny Dahli loaches 4 days ago, and spotted a single speck on one of them. I have been keeping an eye on at least two of them. One had now got about 4-5 spot. So far they have been hiding a lot. Yesterday only one came out to feed, today 2 did. I have only seen all three at once one time s...

the LFS got exactly the same results too.

I have 4 test kits, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate plus a 5 in one that I bought mainly to get PH. The 5 in one also does nitrate and nitrite and confirms the results from the seperates. The seperate ammonia kit did detect ammonia when the tank was cycled a few months ago, so I assume it is working fi...

thanks,

20G, 6 tiger barbs, 6 serpae tetras and 3 dahli (probably) loaches

Water is good, no ammonia, no nitrite and oddly never been any nitrate either.

I'll just leave them be for a few days and see if it disappears, it hasn't bothered him.

Here are some pics, I tried to show the white spot in the second two.

Thanks, Those pictures look exactly the same as mine. I'll try get a photo of the spot next time I see the fish in question. It is the most normal behaving one that has the spot, he is also the one with the biggest appetite (even stealing from the Tigers which are at least 20 times the size in volum...

I bought 3 Dhali (Ringed) loaches yesterday, They are tiny. One has completely disappearred, I'm sure he'll come out at feeding time. One behaves quite normally and the other swims under the filter outflow facing upwards at the top of the water constantly. I am a bit concerned about the last of thes...
