I have 3 hillstream loaches and 6 kuhli loaches. I've been searching online for the last hour how much to feed the squad and I see conflicting information everywhere! Currently, I'm feeding every other day. I mix up 1/4 tsp of soilent green for the hillstreams and 2 sinking wafers for the kuhlis.

He keeps knocking off the suction cups on my side filter and then sits between them. Darn you Carl!

My cutie decided to pose instead of being a noodle for a second and I got to snap this shot!!

How can I treat this if at all possible. Can they recover or survive from wounds like this? Not sure if it’s an infection/disease or if the substrate caused this. Planning on switching to a softer substrate in a couple of days. Currently have eco-complete in the tank.

i have had mine for a few months now and they are alive and seem content but they seem skinnier than the ones i see here? i normally just put in extra food that i make sure sinks when i feed my other fish, and ive seen the loaches eating all the time. i also drop in an algae wafer occasionally but not super often. i have a ton of shrimp and some snails so im worried ab my kuhlis not getting enough to eat.

Hi, so can Kuni Loaches live with a birchir its about 6inches and i also have two Siamese algae eaters one is 6in and the other is about 4? Would they kill eachother?

hes fine hes just stupid

What? Never saw a loach just sit down ?

My ancistrus breeding tank got recentely overrun with snails of unknown origin. I whant to move my Yoyo loaches to that tank so they can eradicate the snail population. Will the loaches eat ancistrus eggs or baby ancistrus?

Hello so im going to get a new filter for my 20g tank soon and someone online said that the filter should be bigger then it needs to be so Im wondering if this filter meant for 142 gallon tanks would work for guppies, hillstream loachs, snowball shrimp, rabbit snails,

These spots just appeared and it seems fatter than normal. I’ve had these loaches for over 3 years and all the others are completely fine.

Just got six khulis, they’re doing well, but I haven’t seen them eat. Grant it, they come out occasionally but are sort of skittish. They live with my panda Cories. Should I feed extra at night to make sure they’re getting some, are there any signs I should look for to see if they’re not getting enough tp eat?

Hello everyone! So as some in here may know I am redoing my cold water tank into tropical. and redisigning it with TONS of live plants, i was gonna get guppies, snowball shrimp, rabbit snails, and now loachs, specifically reticulated hillstream loachs! I already googled if they would be friendly with the rest of the fish, and it turns out they will! I'm going to get 3 as I heard they do best in groups, I'm going to try to cycle till these parameters: 8.0 pH, 10 GH, 0 nitrite, obviously 0 ammonia, 20 ppm nitrate, I understand that the pH might be a bit too high for some, but apparently the guppies like the pH level to be 8.0, im still doing more research so please bare with me if I may sound a bit uneducated, XD, I may try to get a bigger tank for them as i think it might be a tad bit overstocked for them all, please give me any tips or advice. I appreciate any feedback

So, i love dojo, weather, and khuli just as much as the next loach loving gal... but does anyone keep botia? Aggressive loaches? I want to see some different stuff. I have a red fin botia who is a huge jerk named B*tch, killed my two mint loaches. I was so happy and paid quite a bit to ship them in as well. I also have a 7 year old tiger botia named Zig and 6 year old yoyo named yolo. I will have pictures in a bit is 6am and i haven't fed yet. Oh and a golden "sucker loach" i just got who i finds adorable so i am including. Named that one Aykay.
