Loaches Online Forum

No fish, I just got the tank and its US gallons. Think it'll work?

Think I could fit a couple in a 36" x 12" x 16" 30 gallon tank?

What size tank do they need?

How are they with your plants? I dont want to plant the tank all nice just to have them root it all up.

Awesome! I've always liked eel like fish and I wanted a golden dojo loach since I first saw them at petsmart!

I just got a 3 foot long 40 gallon tank, what loaches would be good for a tank this size? Could I keep a couple dojo loaches in it?

Well if you are not getting your tank till July, why not add on the filter you want to the 10g as soon as you can-it will then certinally be cycled by the time you buy your tank :wink: Ashleigh This is the topic I meant htat I liked earlier, guess I took too long to post and some one got ahead of y...

Nice, I like that last post. Would I have to cram it into the filter or just lay the inserts in the tank till I get the new tank? Or actually run it in the ten?

I have a dwarf puffer and they are sensitive to ammonia and such like loaches, so I am pretty sure I can handle it but I do a looooooot of research before I spend money on any thing. Like I'm finding out about the big tank now that im getti...

I have a hob filter for my ten gallon, if I get like a 40 gallon and squeeze some water out of the old filter into the new one how many fish should I add to keep it cycled without overloading it? If I put just a few wont there not be enough ammonia or to dilluted for the new bacteria to multiply? I ...

I want to get it soon and have it cycled before I get the loaches, what fish should I use to cycle it if I have to keep them in there till they die? And do I have to have had it cycled for a while before I put in the dojos?

Is 76 degrees ok for them?

I am getting a new tank for my birthday, probly around 45 or 50 gallons, maybe a little bit lower. I want to keep 3 dojo loaches in it. What other fish could I put in there with them that are not hard to keep and look nice?

Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to know.

Ok, so it has to be 4 feet long how wide and deep should it be? And is 4 foot long big enough for 3 of them?
