Chinese Hillstream Loaches I did a lot of research before I bought my Chinese Hillstream Loach. I set my 55 gal. tank up with gravel for live plants a good filter, good size rocks, and extra water circulation. Put in Live plants, 10 neon blue tetras, 10 harlequin tetras and 10 marble hatchets. Kept my tank at 72 deg. unfortunately the hatchets got sick and died in my quarantine tank. I added some kuhli loaches and Julii Corydoras. I waited about four weeks. Then the tank was ready. I got four Chinese Hillstream Loaches. They laid eggs, one baby survived. I’m thinking about adding more blue neon or Threadfin Rainbowfish or Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish. Those were the only fish I could find that may be compatible in that tank temperature. My 20 gal. unheated tank has dojos, white clouds, harlequins, zebras and a fatty fan tail calico goldfish. I wanted something I don’t have. Any suggestion?

Do you ship them or are they for pick up only? And if so how much are you selling them for?

i have a Flame Gourami and he is wonderful and so pretty, i did notice that is he sees something floating in his tank like a piece of a dead leaf he will pick it up and try to spit it out of his tank as if he is cleaning it, is that normal behavior? anyways i love him and he is adorable when he does it, i also noticed him blowing ring bubbles like a dolphin which is silly.

Just out of interest. My spotted catfish (Spotty ) has just turned 37yrs of age and in all that time I think I have only seen him around a dozen times actually swimming around. I did have two humbug catfish the same age but sadly my 12yr old plec ( Charly )worried them to death.

Turning red could be from parasites or bacterial infection. Clean water and antibiotics or meds for parasites.

Hi. I have a Pleco named Destructo. He is at least 24 years old. He is about 14 inches long. He doesn't like other fish, and he is in the tank alone with a couple of rocks. He does like to play with the filter tube. Sometimes he takes it off and carries it around the tank. He's in a 55 gallon tank, but I am sure he would do better in a bigger one. I'm going to get him a moss ball. Maybe he would like to play with it. I want to make a beautiful tank, but he won't let me. Any ideas?

Try adding driftwood and some sort of cave like structures to hide in or some shaded spots away from the bright lights. Driftwood is supposed to aid in most breeds of pleco's digestion. I find my pleco on his driftwood more than any other thing in my tank (everything from real plants, fish store decor items, rocks and shells).
