Loaches Online Forum

I keep this combination in my 46g. I have a group of Bosemani with SAE's, rosy loaches and galaxy rasboras. Rainbows will tolerate most community fish. but they are greedy feeders - you'll have to make sure theres enough variety/qty of food so the loaches and bottom feeders get their share. Also, yo...

What kind of tree is it? Could be surface rot, which means the branch isn't completely dead yet.

I think I've changed my mind and I'm now considering rosy loaches instead. I want to keep with my theme of having every fish/...

Hi All, my first post here. I was wondering, has anyone successfully kept loaches and red cherry or amano shrimp in the same tank before? I'm in the process of planting my 46g tank now, and I'm still pondering what I should stock it with. Right now I have amano's and red cherry with otto's and an SA...
