Loaches Online Forum

Very nice! I've got a few questions. I absolutely love those redline torpedo barbs. I've been wanting to get some of those for years, but I I was given some information (perhaps false info) here about them not being capable with clown loaches, so I never did get them. How are they doing? How long have you had them? Are they breeding? What are your water parameters? Water temp also?

Wow!! I could watch that tank all day!!

Hi, chefkeith,I have had the roselines and clowns together over two years and they seem to be doing fine. If they have had fry, I have never seen them. Too many other fish in the tank for fry to survive I think. Although, I got a pair of mollies and have had 4-5 survive and are around 1.5" now. I take a sample of my water to the local fish store and they say it's fine. I do have 1 gallon per hour of water coming into the tank continuously after it has gone through 3 filters to remove chlorine and chloramine and TDS. The TDS from my faucet is over 500 and in my tank it is 235+. I think that is why my plants have started growing. I keep my tank at 79-80 degrees. Here is a video from Feb. 2012.

Thank you, Jim, for you comment. At night before I go to bed, I have watched it for several hours at times.

Thanks for the info. Great setup. Nothing beats a continuous drip water changes. You got some lovely and happy fish there.

Superb! Dreaming to have such a tank some day.

Lovely tank and very nice video.
Only that the clown loaches have gone for a snooze Typical
