:( Thanks for all the advice. Thats a great website.. wish I had seen it before.

I know its too small but I had to wait for someone who would take them... the LFS wouldnt take them till this weekend :( He was fine until a couple of days ago :( Happy, running around with the others :(

:( Its not tiny... its 150 litre.... Dont have an isolation tank, but I DO have a Betta in a 5 gallon :/ I could put the betta in the big tank (in a big breading net - temp) and then put the clown loach in the betta tank? I DO really want to help this guy, I'm just not experienced enough to...

Um, his skin seems fine, no spots nada, but the dwarf gormai keep going over to bite his side?? He has stopped clamping his fins today, but still seems to be gasping somewhat -_- I've had this clown loach for a year now, but the tank is too small and I had to wait till now to give them back...

Hey guys. I have one clown loach that seems really ill. He is clamping his fins, gasping for air (at top of tank) and his gills are going nine to the dozen! The other fish (in particular the dwarf gourmai) seem to be nibbling at him :*) but have no idea if they actually are as he doesnt look...

Hey guys, So, I'm waiting for my LFS to take on my clown loaches (the tank is too small for them). In the meantime, they are kipping in the tank. They have been fine for ages. My BF and I went away on hol for 3 weeks, and they were being fed daily, when we got back we changed the water (so it...

ok opcn, no big loaches... ;)

hum. well I started by saying no tropical freshwater. Then acquired a tank with tropical freshwater. Looked at fish and said no to; tetras (of any kind) guppies loaches (get too big) albino fish in general sharky things betta and do u know what? Have got most of them in my tanks now! I have to...

er.... here is a pic of the sucking loach http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/...ics/algeat1.jpg and the catfish... I dont know how to attach a picture?

biggest loach is about 4" smallest about 2" both angels are roughly 4ish" I guess. cats are tiny... about 2". These were mine. When i brought them my LFS said they wouldnt grow over 4" and the chap I spoke to seems to have been right about most things so far.... :)

Hey.... I've posted on here before about my friend with the 100 litre (about 20 UK gallons) tank with the fish. The tank has been passed onto me and I am aware that its not the best stocked tank. So, I now have a 20 g tank and a massive second tank. OH orig told me it was 100g but its 75g. So...

neon tetras funnily enough. my first fish tank was brought for me when I was 10. My parents pretty much left me to it. I didnt cycle, did nothing in fact other than clean it every 2 weeks cos it used to get algae on it. They survived my bad fish keeping for years (!) and even a cat knocking off...

sorry, just didnt know where else to post it!!! ;)

London Won! We did it! Woo hoo! :) :cool:

my friend has a king charles spaniel and they are gorgeous. Lap dogs, and they are cute and fluffy and cuddly and they dont need massive walks every day. She got hers from a shelter. xx

ah! Bless... I'm liking this thread. Well I'm kinda a 2nd generation rescuer too... My mum worked at an animal shelter when I was a kid so we had a massive variety of feral cats and kittens we used to (try) to tame and those that were fully tamed were adopted out, the others we kept. I'm just...

gosh! what cuties!

lol! I could have written that! totally agree.

Hey, I'm in South West London. And if anyone wants any clown loach I have 4 I need to loose..... ;)

I think this thread is really interesting, especially the opinions from the UK and US.... Personally, I grew up in a tiny (UK) village and my cats had constant indoor/outdoor access. They were fine. But our road was totally quiet and when I drive to visit mum and dad people driving round there...

I know its far too small for the clown loach and also should be with others etc etc but she has said she will move at some point soonish. I cant do anymore than that. :dunno: So, on the subject of angels.... is that a :nod: or :no: . thx.

my m8 just asked me if she can put angels in her tank with her fish. I have a feeling its a no but was just checking. She has the same as me so... clown loach catfish 2 diff types of tetra sucking loacher.. reckon thats it. Her tank is a lot smaller than mine though.... about 100 litres? at a...

thx zig. xx ;)

yup. mine does too.... goes mad when i am feding the fish flakes as well... sigh! ;)

I've got that on my ankle. A guppy-type-thing and the tail wraps round my ankle. Would take a pic but i dont have a camera.... Everyone always comments how amazing it loos though. The tail is kinda like the fire guppies ones... Only down side is its nice and colourful, but that means my boss...

flippin americans.... always making things complicated!! ;)

yeah, thats about the size of the goldfish tanks i mentioned ;)

Hi, sorry in advance for the stupid questions but i have had a quick scout for the answers and couldnt find them..... :sad: 1) When you plant the plants in your tank do you take off the plant pot? What about the cotton wool stuff? 2) is it just liquid fertiliser stuff u put in the tank? can u...

hey, Dont know if u have a pets at home near you but they sell little tanks for goldfish which i would say are pretty perfect for your betta. They usually come with a little filter whcih doesnt run a current as much as just some air bubbles out the top. U can buy a little heater to go in (cos u...

would i be better to leave it till I get a bigger tank then? Have no probs waiting as I have been thinking/researching/waiting for a year already....

more updates more updates! :wub:

thx. ;)

Hi, I have 1 freshwater tropical tank that is massive following a recent upgrade. However, this has left me with a 100litre tank (no idea what that is in gallons). What I am interested in is if this is too small for a marine tank. It is also a cube shape, so its tall, will this be a problem? I...

Thx guys, and really do appreciate all the help. :D xx

they look kinda cool. ARe they surface fishies?

Ok, so had some issues with my tank a few weeks ago, infection etc. My guppies died, have given it 2 weeks and treated for issues etc etc. I'm not planning on putting anything else in for another 3 weeks but due to the way my LFS works, need to decide this week who/what to add into tank (100g)...

So Big Red, who I rescued recently has imporved dramatically! His colour has really started to come out (he is a lovely dark red not a faded red). He doesnt seem to have any infections, is flaring and swimming around a lot in his new home. Hope things continue to improve like this but wanted to...

gosh! Thats one hell of a bubblenest! Wish my boy made them. :(

my fave ever is monteray bay aquarium. Its resposible for my fish obsession nowadays and i love it! bit far for a day trip for me though....america...

hum, torn between one of my clown loaches (the baby one) collectively called 'the brotherhood' and my rescue betta, big red. Both fish were resued with diseases, and both are dead affectionate toward me as soon as i hear theri voices. love 'em!
