Re: Live plants with loaches

With weather loaches, Java Moss, Anubias, and Cryptocoryne do well. They cover wood and rocks, tolerate digging, and provide hiding spots for fish while keeping the tank ecosystem stable. Wacky Flip

White Spots on My Loaches

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance about my loaches. Over the past couple of days, I’ve noticed small white spots on their bodies and fins. They’ve also been acting a bit more restless than usual and occasionally rubbing against decorations.
Tank is a 120L freshwater setup, temperature 25 ...

Re: flashing question

Hi there,

My loaches never flash to get food off the bottom. Only when anything was upsetting them did they flash. The three times I can recall them flashing, it was because Ich was irritating them. spend elon musk money

Re: PRAZIQANTEL

It's not too easy to take too much praziquantel.

Gel-Tek Ultra Cure PX has never worked well for me. However, perhaps you'll have more success with it.  retro bowl college

The same loach displayed the same behavior yesterday during a water change, one week after I first wrote this. appeared to be chasing his tail in several ways. I'm grateful for the replies.

Re: Water Quality tips

Even at three degrees, KH is quite steady. Just keep an eye on the water's conditions, and frequent water changes will replenish any carbonates that are lost.
The pH of my tanks is really low when the KH lowers (substrate sequesters it). stable, but only very minimally. The nitrifying bacteria are ...

Re: My first attempt at keeping Hillstream Loaches-update

You must use caution when clicking on links to other websites on this forum that are posted by new users. Frequently, the webpage you land on will not be related to loaches. To say I've never tried them is putting it kindly.

Re: Live plants with loaches

They are with Crypocoryne, Sagittaria, Hygrophylum, and Echionodorus in my possession.
The soil is not only sand, though, so I never give the plants anything extra.

Re: help! 2 clowns have vanished

Hi, I appreciate your guidance. The tank is a Jewel 180, and I have a piece of bog wood that has a few hiding places and a few plants, but they're not too numerous, so you can see around them. I also looked inside the cave, but it was definitely empty, so I took dramatic steps and split it in half ...

Re: 75 g clown loach tank - stocking (HELP)

Regarding your current fish population, it seems to be relatively balanced in terms of species and numbers. However, be aware that ruby/rainbow sharks can be territorial and may become aggressive towards each other as they mature. Additionally, bala sharks can grow up to 14 inches in length, so make ...
