Loaches Online Forum

I should also mention that all my fish were fine until I started this new aquarium as well theyve been in it for about 4 months now. Its a 100 litre (tall) tank, and I found out after the fact that tall tanks (bowed front) arent a good idea because they can create issues with surface area. I spent a...

Ive only noticed some small white spots on one fish which are no onger present, I understood that early signs of ich may be flicking/scraping... Hmm well, I didnt see any 'velvet' I think what started all of this is about a month to 2 months ago my heater went on the fritz and my temp rose dramatica...

Well, I followed directions from a loach breeder. His instructions were to slowly raise the temp of the tank ( no more than 2 degrees per hr up to 85 f) which I did to speed up the life cycle of the ich.

I have 2 beautiful YoYo's and have had them for about 2 yrs. They are about 3 inches long, and one is always quite a bit "thicker" from time to time. She is the female, and is with egg on and off. Anyway , I dont see a lot of threads on YoYo's here, and was hoping to read more. If anyone has comment...

One of my yoyo loaches has been bearing eggs for about one month. I know this because she became very large and round very quickly. She often buries herself beneath a log on her side to hide away.
