Loaches Online Forum

Very nice!

Very enjoyable video thanks. With a lovely shoal of young Clowns and lots more going on too.

However, I would be interested to know what you think of the following. I was advised that the "Roseline Sharks" which are locally named "Dennison's Barbs" require a cooler temperature than Clown Loaches so I didn't get them (I have Boeseman's Rainbows instead). Both are beautiful fish though.

Have you any comments on the optimum temperature differences please? Thankyou.

Thank you for your comments, redshark1. I agree that the upper limit is 77°F (20° C), I have had these for over 1.5 years and got them when they were very small. I keep my 125, with the loaches, at around 80°F. They seem to be doing well and growing.

Unless you are trying to breed a certain fish, I think most fish can acclimate to most water conditions (within reason of course). Especially those that are tank breed and raised. But, that is JMHO.

Thank you for you comment, chefkeith. Means a lot coming from you. You have the best looking clowns I have seen.
