Follow the dirsctions and you should be fine. I have used it with MANY species of fish and have never run ionto any problems. I don't think it will hurt the loaches at all. Danny

Gibbo, Thanks for the links. And I agree the South American puffer is the best aquarium species. IMO. And also the HARDEST to get here in the states. How big did yours get ? Danny

Chances are any fish youput in with a betta will chew on the fins of the betta. IME the only fish taht go well with them with little to NO problems are gold fish. those long fins are just invatations to fishies looking to nip fins. I STRONGLY suggest not housing them with other community fish...

I have tried a few of the products mentioned by Rose with Great results. but, I personaly like to make my own mix of peat and manure topped with a layer sand Not too fine. this method can be messy and not recomended for tanks that will house fish with high tendencies to dig. Peat is and will...

I keep both land and water turtles. Both like and eat fish. I get mine from a local canal BUT, I do medicate them prior for at least a week and then realease them into the back yard pond. Once they have been living there they are safe and free of parasites because I have medicated them...

Could be PopEye. Only had this happen a few times and the fish were just removed and let heal on his own. Some made it made it some didn't. My fault for not wanting to use the meds. Live and learn though. Even us SO CALLED experts make mistakes. Exophthalmus or Protruding Eye Sometimes...

young male chilote from Zue Island. Lips showing nice bubba curls already. LOLOL mature males are alot more blue and red on flanks. females are pretty plain gray w/ bars.

My two syno. cats. aka, (two little pigs), they eat like pigs.
