I put my Honey Gourami's in this tank and the Cichlids were a lot happier.....now someone has told me that these two types of fish can't live together.......
-
Good news-I now have 17 happy healthy Clown's
-
I have 2 large tanks set up, but not sure which are the best fish to go with each other. I have Clown Loaches (17), Marble Angel fish (2), Honey Gourami (2), Blue Spot Gourami (2), Blue Dolphin Cichlids (13) and 2 large Pleco (which are separated as they fight). I currently have my Blue Dolphins with a Pleco and the 2 Honey Gourami's and have been told that it is not a good idea?! They all seem to be fine and not fighting....any suggestions?
-
I have 13 Blue Dolphins which I have put into another tank (set up as a rocky Malawi lake as opposed to a normal community tank) with exactly the same water conditions, and they are just sitting around the bottom of the tank. They were with Clown Loaches and Gouramis, now by themselves-would this make a difference? Any suggestions how to get tham back to there active selves
-
I find the big clown's are quite tough, but the small ones don't tolerate much at all. All the ones I have bought from the pet shop have died (3-4cm), but the 7 large ones I have that i bought have survived all sorts of changes (tank upgrades, new fish etc). Trying to get hold of big clowns proves to be very difficult though
-
I thought doing 2 x a week (25%) would solve the problem....but it doesn't seem to be working....mind you all the loaches seem happy and crazy as
-
All still alive Only thing is my nitrates sitting at 10......not sure what else to do. Doing water changes 2 times weekly and got plants???
-
I would rather try something natural.....I removed the carbon in my filters cos that was causing problems. I might try more plants.....see how that goes.
-
I have been trying twice weekly water changes (25%), vacuum sustrate once a week and clean out my filter medium every couple of weeks (rinse in aquarium water). But levels still won't go ny lower. Not sure what else I can do, or should I just leave as is?
-
I can't seem to get my Nitrate level below 10....is this ok? I have good filtration, tanks are planted (both tanks have Nitrate of 10), and ammonia and nitrites at 0. I don't think I am overfeeding as only feed once a day a small pinch of food, and cucumber couple of times a week. Any suggestions? :-?

Hi Mac I have 9 clown's, and am on the look out for a 500l tank at the moment. It has been 2 weeks since I have acquired the last 6...so all good so far, as before they would have died by now Everything else is set up as recommended. Thanks
-
Will these guys be safe together? I am thinking of buying a 500 litre tank and combining my 2 200l tanks fish.
-
Hi all. Well so far all the loaches seem happy and healthy! Just one question though.....would it be possible that they could eat a Neon Tetra?! 1 has gone missing....and I checked the whole tank for a body.....and can't find it??? :-?
-
Thanks for all the advice....I have acquired 6 bigish clowns and added to my tank. I have temp at 28, and amm 0, nitrite 0, and nitrate below 5. Got lots of filtration, water movement...will teast water every day for a while to ensure all the conditions are perfect....fingers crossed!!!
-
I buy 2 at a time. Ammonia is at 0. Tank has lots of hideaways, well planted, good filtration, lots of water movement.....I am at a loss.
-
Tank is at 26.....I will turn up to 28...hopefully my other fish survive.....they include Gourami's, BN, rasbora's and tetras. Thanks
-
I don't have much luck with Clown Loaches....I have them a few days and they die?! I have a 200l tank, Amm/Nitrites at 0, Nitrates below 5, pH 6.5. I have had 2 for about 6 months, but have tried to introduce a couple more twice....and they die. No symptoms of ich or anything else....just lay on their sides/have trouble swimming for 24 hours then.... Any suggestions please.

I have: 1 dog 3 cats 20 fish (of course)..........and 5 kids
-
Thanks peoples I will take your suggestions gladly....not used to having such a big fish to feed! He (or she) has not got any tank mates at the moment as someone told me he would eat them.....and after seeing him chase after a piece of cucumber which came off the spoon last night I would believe it...he was fast! Of course would also welcome any suggestions on suitable tank mates that won't end up DINNER!

I have just acquired a large common pleco (he is about 40cm). I was just wondering how much to feed him. I have bought Hikari Algae Wafers. I have tried starting with one in the morning and one at night, but he gobbles it up in minutes. Last night I also gave him 2 slices of cucumber....that lasted most of the evening. Can anyone tell me any indicators of whether he is getting enough to eat or not? Thanks
