Mad Whip Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ok I have a 100mm Bengal Loach that I can't catch. There was 3 I managed to trick the other 2 with food but this last one is too smart for the inverted coke bottle trap. The tank has a lot of plants and I want him out not the plants. does anyone have any trap ideas his or her mates are waiting in a new AR380.

Southerrrngirrl Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I know loaches can be tricky to catch. I just use two nets. Curious though as to why you want to put bengal loaches into such a small tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Whip Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 They hassel my small danios so they have to move. Do you think they AR380 is to small for 3 they are about 110mm long at the most. The tank is just for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 What size tank are you moving them from? The Danios would be better in the AR380 if the other is larger. I've seen recommended minimum tank sizes for these loaches range between 75 litres and 208 litres. So I would say that yes the AR380 at 38 litres is a bit small. I believe they can be a bit aggressive and territorial, so if you go putting them in a small tank the aggression between them may increase.

Mad Whip Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 They are coming out of a 250l. I plan on having about 200 danio so the loachs gotta go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
