They were doing fine. All eating well an the rope is getting on well with the loaches.
I just noticed that the elephant nose has an injury on his snout. It seems like it got cut and a white piece of cartilage is poking out near the base. He hasn't been rooting and seems to be guarding it...
I have an elephant nose in a 36 gallon tank. His tank mate are-
5 neons
3 clown loaches
3 red fin blue tetras
2 black mollies
1 rope fish

He finally ate! I picked up some live black worms and segregated the loaches. I spot fed him with an unused medicine syringe and he gobbled them up. We were so happy.
Bought 2 tubes. He checked them out, but haven't seen him in it.
Still no luck with food. I'm going to try getting frozen brine shrimp, maybe he'll like them better. Tried hand feeding again. Put them in his face. He nosed them and passed.
Yes. It's more accurate, Last longer, and test for regular ph, high ph, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates.
I payed about $35 (us?) don't know where you're at. It's great.
My father in law is old school and has had fish longer than I've known him. He makes fun of me all the time for working so hard for my tank.
My LFS has given great advice so far and they say don't add chems unless they are sick and change your water. and if they are, being a water sample...
Thanks. I am very fond of him also. I've been researching the every chance I get.
I read that loaches and ele's compete for food. I think that I'm going to try to divide the tank to keep the loaches to one side.
