loach

Hello,   So I posted a few weeks back asking for advice to stock a new tank. I have now purchased a new tank and it is the 100 litre Aqua One UFO-550 corner tank.   I've put this into aqadvisor (as best I can because it doesn't really accommodate for corner tanks) and this seems to fit. Just...

Help. I have a black ghost knife, four yo-yo loaches and two Clown loaches among other fish which are not as important for this topic. My tank has ick for the first time, the tank is 2 1/2 years old. Given that these are sensitive fish I have been doing a lot of reading but depending on what I...

Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to apologize because I don't know some proper terms, english is not my mother tongue. I would really appreciate if someone would give my advice, my loach is letargic and has white "smears" on his back. The disease seems to also have attacked his gills because...

Sorry this will be long. So I've always had a love for the uncommon or oddball fish that takes its own set up and requires just a bit extra care. A few years back I came across a few Reticulated Hillstream Loachs in an LFS. After watching them for a while I was amazed by there colors and how...

For a few days my 4 year old weather loach has suddenly grown a lump on it's head. In the first few days it was quite small and was the same colour as the rest of its body, then the lump turned white and now the lump is red! I have never had any problems with my loaches before and haven't made...

Hi there!    So I recently discovered the adorable Clown Loach! I want to set up a community tank with them, here are the fish I was thinking of homing with them:    Clown Loach (3)  Platy (4) Corydora (2) - either dwarf or albino  Bala Shark (3) - yes I am aware balas need a large tank, I will...

Hello!   Many people do not know, but there not a singular species of Kuhli Loach, but in fact, many. Due to their common appearance, most fish retailers will dump all sorts of Kuhli species into one tank and label them all as "Kuhli Loach".    This articles is a means to help any Kuhli owner...

Can Corydoras be kept with Kuhli/Dojo loaches? I know they both inhabit the bottom, wondering if the loachs will bully the Corys. They will be kept in groups. (8+)

Can anyone tell me what kind of fish this is. I was told a loach but not sure if it is or what kind it is?

I have three gold dojo loaches but I don't know their gender. Two are younger and one is pretty big. How can I tell of they are boys or girl?

I have to Golden dojos that I BELIEVE to be both Male, (Karl and Franchesco)   Karl is a lot bigger than Fran, but I got them around the same size and not too far apart. They have been buds for a while now, around 5 months at min. Franchesco follows karl, like right beside him, like he's stuck...

Hi all,    I have already posted about this a good few months ago but thought i'd ask something diffrent about it. Unfortunatley I had three yo yo loaches two of them 6" and the other around 4" I came down one morning and the two biggest loaches were floating at the top dead along with my...

Help!   My 9 year old weather loach is incredibly swollen and ill looking. He has slowly been getting more swollen for about two weeks now (I call him a he but have no evidence to base this on!) which I originally put down to my partner enjoying hand feeding them a little too much which...

sorry about the poor quality...phone camera

I'm about done fishless cycling my 120gal tank (48 x 24 x 24), so I'm in the process of preparing to add my full fish load once it's ready so as not to loose any of my beneficial bacteria. My initial plan is to stock with 5 adult clown loaches and a handful of tetra, danios, and barbs. I'm not...

Hi all! Recently I noticed that sometimes my Khuli Loach has a very pale colouring to it but then goes completely back to normal. Any ideas on what this could be? It's eating fine and showing no other signs of sickness but it just seems a little odd :/
