Loaches Online Forum

Well- thanks for the offer. I would like to keep them together as a family, though. They seem to really like each other. And, just to clarify, I am in Pasadena, California. I was in a rush when I posted this and forgot to include that tidbit.

Hey guys, I have had a disaster: my 60 gallon aquarium cracked a panel over our hard wood floors (and we rent) so we need to get rid of our livestock. I would really like to give these guys to an enthusiast who would be willing to send me pictures of them occasionally. The school that my girlfriend ...

Spot made a full recovery. He is still catching up the other guys (who are huge) but looks completely healthy.

Spot is doing great. He has definitely put on weight. His body is no longer "pinched" looking and he is starting to fill out. He is still the skinniest but I expect him to make a full recovery.
