My clown loach update

Post by ckk125 » Fri Aug 15, 2008 4:58 am

hello all.. it is been awhile since i updated some photos of them..

Sorry about the poor photos as the only lighting i have right now is the sunlight.

This tank is without substrate as im shifting them in to a new 5x2x2 tank in a few months time.

Comments are welcomed.:)

First of all...Good night. :P

This is a temporary tank before i shift them to a 5 feet tank..

I dont know how old..but at least 11 inches long.

Lots of problem with wild caught large loaches..2 of them have the skinny problem again. :(

Sorry to here that some of the clowns aren't doing well. Are you doing anything to treat them?

Now i dosed my tank with antibiotics..and next week, will use the deworm-er meds. i dont think it is caused by worms this time but bacterial infection..only 2 of them are not eating and started to lose weight. only time will tell.

You might have better luck if you treat the skinny clowns in a quarantine tank. In a crowded tank it will be difficult for them to eat and rest peacefully.

Most common is Hexamita sp, an intestinal protozoa. Metronidazole uses to do fine on them.

What is that adorable little turtle? Is it a native species?

My roommate is from KL.
