One thing though... Loaches are a schooling fish and to see them in in their fullest glory, you need to buy at least 2 more.....

Here is a link to some videos of this fish: http://www.****************/catalog_pages/wild/distichodus.htm#top2 I had a group of Dist. Affinis. The problem with them and every other fish in that family is that they LOVE to nip the other fish in the tank! Even themselves. They are...

Just to let you know.... These guys are aggressive. They WILL nip and harass your other fish tank inhabits. A Min tank IMO would be 120 gallons and larger... Also.... When they get older (and bigger) their brightly colored orange and black stripes will fade.

I dont know why your tinfoils is hunting serpaes???? Mine does not even bother the white cloud mountain minnows. I also have 4 small petricola catfish and 3 cories in there and they arent even bothered... Do you feed live food to them? Maybe that would be the reason??? I feed flakes and...

It usually takes 1.5-2 weeks to actually get the shipment from the time I order it. Of course I live in the los angeles area and they ship from NY using the dreaded UPS ground.. Its where you live that matters the time.

I forgot to add. It will be hard to find these guys. ALBINO TINFOILS are extremely hard to find. I would hold off buying reg. tinfoils.because it is WORTH it once you find these wondefull fish.

I would try to get ALBINO tinfoil Barbs. They really are a nice fish. Pearl white with red eyes. You do need to keep them in groups of 3. In your tank, they wouldl look magnificient! As for plants. No way. Will never happen. Anything plant related will be eaten by these guys. I tried this one...

hmmmm... I thought they were illegal in the USA? perhaps the LFS were selling them as "glow in the dark fish", but in fact ther ware not? LFS's are known to do stuff like this,..... Oops.... your not in the USA. Anyway, they will not appear in the uSA anytime soon (illegal) Also, if you...

My full grown RTBS totally ignores all my bottom dweelers in my 60 gallon (4 petricola catfish, 5 loaches). The only fish the he/she goes after are my boesiman rainbow fish. He may once in a while try to go after my elephant nose, but the elephant nose just turns around and chases him in return...

I hardly ever post anymore. But here is some info on this species called TK-1 (glow in the dark zebra danios). A local Dealer here in southern California DID recieve a shipment and sold them all. Once the Government found out, they now have BANNED this fish in the aquarium trade in the...

Dojo: Roswell, Nm? Huh??? Seen any UFO's Recently or been Abducted? :) :D

Rainwater? with our fish? No way! I think its even dirtier than the sink water. I live in the san fernando valley (in the Los angeles area). All the chemicals and smog in the air would pollute the rainwater. I would never risk it. UNLESS you live in an area with no smog and away from any major...

The only problem with Big als is this: It takes a week and a half to get their products if you live in California. Dr fosters only take a few days with the same shipping costs. I go through Big als because they are the cheapest, with the best customer support

We alter fish ALL the time by breeding them with other fish. MANY fish you see in the store are actually been altered in some way from its Natural species. Of course, these fish (glow in the dark fish) has been genetically altered I think. THATS a whole different can of worms in...

My dad had a Elephant nose fish live around 25 years old (he knows the exact age) and 3 tinfoils live 10-15 years old. One is still alive...

Sorry about the delay, Do you have a pic of the Glass tinfoil barb? I NEVER seen one in any fish store here in los angeles. They are very hard to come by. Another variety that is nice is the Golden Tinfoil... You are lucky if you have a glass tinfoil..if thats what you have. PLEASE, Oh...

Pretty simple really. you use about 1 inch of sand (not the fake cheap stuff found at some LFS that are extremely sharp). You must also have lots of small shells. I would add a rock or 2 with holes in it to. I was going to make my 10 gallon tank to a shellie but decided not to. Why? because...

There are many types of Loaches out there. Check out www.loaches.com They do have many pics of the varieties of Angelicus botia. See if that one is it. The price seems right. I paid that amount for my 3. BTW, they are a very nice additition! they come out in the light and have a personality...

I have a metal stand that I bought through Petwarehouse to hold my 20 and 10 gallon tank. Had it for a year and it seems to work great. Im not so sure if it will hold up in an earthquake though. Seems tipsy...

I would have to say kuhli's! I have 10 in my 10 gallon. They are shy, but when they do come out, they are blast. Cories are more laid back. You would have to have a large group of them so they can achieve their natural behavior.
