Loaches Online Forum

I managed to catch a few of these guys being goofy. I've never seen loaches act like these guys....can you tell I'm enjoying them




Sorry about the "flecks" in the last pic. I'm not exactly sure what that was, but it was on the glass .

Lovely! I like the way that one is resting on the algae-magnet!

Superb!

Thanks, guys

I don't know if it was noticed, but in both of the pics, they are at the top of the tank. Is that normal? The first pic shows them playing in the Riccia that's floating in there. They seem to like to play in that, and that can understand. If it was on the ground, I'm sure they would be in it there, too

OH, bad news....I found one dead this morning. No clue what happened, it was just laying there. Didn't look skinney (well, skinney compared to normal for these guys), nor did I notice any fin problems or anything.

The rest seem to be doing well, so I'm not gonna stress on loosing one right now. I'm keeping a close eye on them.

I seem to have become an expert at losing the various kuhlis. I found that if they are near the top of the tank there is a problem which usually results in their loss. I have found a lot of my bodies up near the surface.

Now you've had them about the same length of time that I have had the new batch of kuhlis so it should be past any problem time. Let's hope that it was an exception...

Thanks for the info, Wendie

Those pics were actually taken on April 7th and 11th. Since then, I don't see them up there very often. I discovered them up there by watching them go from the bottom and chase each other up into the Riccia. I assume it was play, but I can't be sure since I don't know these guys very well.

Last night I noticed a couple of them hanging out in a tube with my Striped guys, so they are on the bottom. They come out to eat, scoot around, scare the SAE's when they snuggle up to them
