Loaches Online Forum

So any ways, would cherry, rosey, tiger, or gold barbs be good dither fish?
They all breed pretty fast, right?

Ok, I have to ask his friend, the other owner of the store, on Sunday.

Waitin for him to respond...

Actually, I believe it was the b. sidthimunkis he bred. Sorry for any confusion. And anyways, would cherry barbs be good dithers?

Looking at the empty tank in front of me, I can't help but wonder if some dither fish would assist the loaches in breeding.

Ah, so it was a fight.
And I did spruce the tank up alot.
I splurged and bought a bunch of swords and java fern. I'll get pics up later.

And here is the video!
It doesn't look like a fight to me, even though the other male broke it up.

I think they're spawning!
I have a video, and I'll get it on youtube ASAP.

Last night I changed some water and replaced it with cooler water, so...

Well, part of the name is what you just posted. XP
Fantastic Fins is the name of the store, and I'll recommend them as #1 for the L plecos.

There appears to be a bond between her and one of the males.
And, she chases either of them when they go within an inch of her cave, but everywhere else they loachydance.

With the boyiez out of the bag, her colors have darkened into a beautiful magenta! All three of them are swimming around and utterly destroying my landscaping.

Done today!
She has two big boys to take care of her.

And with today brings more promises! I just picked up two boys *thought they were boy-girl at the shop* and I'm about to let them out of the bag. I hope I'll see some uber rare but still hopeful spawning behavior tonight. (to all those out there who think or know I won't spawn, I like getting my hop...

I'm just amazed at her speed.
