Loaches Online Forum

Thank you so much for the reply! It made me think and I decided to get a far much bigger tank than I wanted before. Because in a bigger tank it's easier to handle the backflow I think. I have some idea's yet but I really want to think it over before I start with a new tank. Plans are now: Size of th...

I'm considering buying a rather unusual sized tank: 90cm x 60 x ?? (length x widh x height). Now I was wondering: because of the widh I think it's best to use 3 powerheads. I'm thinking of 2x Aquaclear 30-301 (540 litres p/hour with venturi) and 1x Aquaclear 50-402 (946 litres p/hour with venturi). ...

Well if there's another way, I would like to hear it too. But I don't think there is. Even if you remove everyhting, it still is very hard to catch them. I always remove (most of) the water too.

But you should wait for other reactions. Maybe someone has a clever method

I already know the database, but thank you very much anyway I know the water parameters which are mentioned are always average parameters. So I was wondering what the extremes are.

I'm from Eindhoven btw

That's usefull information, thank you! Then it's definitely a P. Oblonga. Some time ago I bought P. Pangia at the shop (well, they were labeled P. Pangia) but then they mist be P. Oblonga too. Btw the fish on teh picture is at the moment about 8 cm/3,1 inch long. The only loaches who's colour is cin...

Just wondering, what kind of fish is Mitch?

Beautiful pictures btw

And how low is still acceptable for Pangio's? In nature they live between litter so I guess a ph of 6 (or maybe even lower) comes close to their natural environment? Welcome Godfather. The people that keep these will have to answer that one,I only have a few similar to these . Thank you :) I still ...

Looks good! Nice piece of wood you have

Cool to see other Dutch ppl on this forum

Hi, This loach I found in the shop trapped in a filter. It took some time to free him (??) but it was worth it :) I'm sorry for the bad quality of the picture. The water is very dark and the loach is very active. I will ask my gf if she can take better pictures soon! http://members.lycos.nl/jannekje...
