    How Long Till Full Size?

    I think my two pearls grew to adult size in less than 6 months. Took a while longer to get the adult coloration though, but they did grow up very quick. My gold gourami reached adult size in 4 months, so I'm guessing it was about the same for the pearls but it's been a couple of years so I can't...

    Platys And Angelfish?

    I think the water requirements are slightly different for angels and platies, angels preferring soft water and platies being more of a moderately hard water fish, but platies are supposedly quite hardy so maybe that's not a big issue. I had platies with 5 angelfish for well over a year and never...

    Compatable With Clown Loaches?

    IME clowns get along with just about all of the community fish. And at least my 4 clowns are sharing an 80 gal with 12 cories and never had a problem with it so I don't see a reason why they shouldn't be kept together. Just make sure all the fish have enough hiding places and it should be fine...

    How Fast Do Clown Loaches Grow

    I'm not all that familiar with tank sizes measured in foot so a 4 foot tank really doesn't tell me much what size it is in gallons or litres, but as the clowns grow big they will require at least a 100 gallon tank, preferably something around 150+ gal. Even while they're young, I wouldn't keep...

    How Fast Do Clown Loaches Grow

    Plenty of space and good diet seemed to help my clowns. My first two grew from 2-2½ inches to 5-6 inches in about a year, and the other two (they are a bit younger) are at about 4-5 inches now. The first year seems to be when they grow the most, after that they slown down growth. You might...

    Barb Compatibility

    Has anyone got any experiences with gold/rosy barbs and angelfish & gouramis? Or are they just too nippy? I've been looking for some colorful fish that would please the eyes of my parents' for our 80 gallon tank and they are just too choosy! Gold barbs and rosy barbs are so far the only fish...

    I'm going to get 16 cardinal tetras and one SAE in a couple of weeks from another aquarist who's giving up the hobby.

    What Would You Do If You Had...

    lol I do wish I had an unlimited budget.. I'd build a whole fish house in that case ;) Thanks for the ideas everyone. Some of these ideas make me wish I lived in US or some other bigger country since some fish mentioned are impossible to get where I live or at least extremely expensive (reefs...

    What Would You Do If You Had...

    a 250-300 gal tank about 8-10 foot long? Note: I don't have a tank that big yet, I'm just thinking ahead. I'm beginning to feel sorry for my 4 clown loaches in my 80 gallon and since they're my favourite fish by far, I think they deserve more space and a proper school of around 10. I don't...

    Just A Couple Of Questions

    http://www.bollmoraakvarieklubb.org/artikl...own%20loach.htm There's a nice informative page on clown loaches. It's quite long but it's well worth reading if you're interested in keeping them. I hope you realize that a 55 gallon is not big enough for clown loaches for more than a few years; at...
