I had a particular crazy friend who through these great parties with 70's theme's, well he still lives in the 70's :lol:
I always wound up waking up on the coach with my face against his tank 250g. Then I noticed any time I was in his house that I sat next to the tank and people used to...
"garden soil, rabbit droppings, etc. covered with a layer of gravel" :jump:
I did'nt know McGuyver was a finatic.
Sorry I'm only 2yrs in and im just amazed at people's inginuity.
Plecto's dont like salt so it makes it very hard to use because everyone has one.
Salt is not good for plants either.
In the article "yuck Ich" on the main page states Loaches can tolerate salt.
So many varied opinions guess you will just have to try and test!
There are to many secretive...
what temp is your tank?
If its 24c lets say it might be early stages. My current battle started that way.
I'm trying the raise temp to 30c meds did not work.
Wait for the salt like look wont be long if it is ich.

Water changing
Thanks for all the reply's I especially love the mixed it up with beer part!
Sorry I did not reply I'm in the middle of battling Ich.
Lost 6 Loache and 5 Ballas
Gutted
Well I just tested and the results scared me
Ammonia .1
Nitrite .1
Nitrate 25 mg/L
PH 7

I did a partial water change 10g
I'll keep an eye on it. Probably from the dead fish although I did a 20g change last night.
Should I change more water before raising the temp...

Or is it simply they wont admit they have a UVS when posting?
If someone out there uses one is it really any benefit/different?
sorry im using the liquid tests.
10ppm might be wrong statement
Its .1 or 10
Nitrate, Nitrite and Amonia all come up the colour next to none at all sorry my fault with 10 ppm.
I will check when I go home.
Yep it was ich. It killed me watchin the loaches scratching all the time.
But are you sure about the 30c because I thought 28c was the limite with siamese and pleco?
OK
I walked into the LFS and I overheard a discussion between a member of staff an another fish loving nut like me about water changes.
Staff "I would recommend that you use water straight from the tap and treat with stress coat to remove chlorine"
Nut "How long before I put it in the...
