Loaches Online Forum

I am jealous of myself right now Shari. I got the tank from Craigslist for $500. Incredible!!! Anyway, if I loose a few when they molt that's not the end of the world. I just don't want to see the entire population wiped out in 2 days b/c they are soooo yummy.

I am disappointed from the lack of responses I have received that actually answer my question and from the remarks that I have received. I have heard sooo many ...

Salt DOES help goldfish. In quite a few ways that I mentioned above, but yes it can upset their osmotic balnce an...

I am new to the forum but not new to fish-keeping. Hi!!! I have a 55gal coldwater tank that houses 2 goldfish and 2 dojo loaches.
