Dave+Amy Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 has anybody bred Chain loaches successfully in their aquariums? Just brought 10 of these lil fellas today from hutt pets - kinda sure there's at least one female (being fatter in the midsection), got a group of 4 in my 2foot tank and a group of 6 in my 6foot tank..wouldn't mind my own sustainable snail control that looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&q= ... hes+&meta= mixed reports This species is spawned on a large scale via hormone treatment, details of which appear to be a highly guarded trade secret. This is to help take pressure off of the already steep decline in wild stocks. Would be interested to find out more about this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted September 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah I read that they breed them in giant concrete tanks...then the rest was written in Thai which stopped me from understanding a wee bit lol. I'm more curious as to what their natural environment's like and how fragile their eggs are..I have almost a quarter of my 6foot tank grown off Christmas Moss (should make good shelter?) Has anybody tried? Are all Chain loaches in the petshops imported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
