Loach lovers, show me your loaches!

[Goldfish loach boy]

I love loaches, probably my favorite fish tied with plecos, so why not, show me your loaches!
My 4 black kuhli loaches!, the life of the tank!
Please ignore the diatoms, I can't get rid of them

[Goldfish loach boy]

Oh man! You have banded kuhlis! I'm jealous now! I want to get my hands on some banded, but my LFS never has them!
Nice false Julii's by the way

they are really neat little guys. i really want to try breeding them, but they don't reach sexual maturity until they are 1 1/2-2 years old!

thanks one of my lfs has them for 4.99 same price as the black ones so i had to go with the banded they are awesome

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Hah lucky, but if I had blacks and banded, I think I'll get banded since my sand is black

 

[aquandrew]

here is my sewellia lineolata. he is so awesome he loves siting next to the powerhead. I'm setting up a 20 long and will be getting two more females to try breeding them. I've got so many display tanks now i really want to get into breeding more so I'm going to be doing 4 different kinds of shrimp and these and some kind of nothobranchius

this is the breeding design i found for hillstream loaches

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I live Borneo loaches! I would defenetely have one, but I only have tropical set ups, and they need cold water so:/
Nice breeding designs!

yeah i was thinking about adding some white cloud minnows but i decided against it, i don't want any of the eggs or fry getting eaten. it will be awesome having tiny little hillstream loaches and tank bred ones are much heartier than wild caught

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Hah yea, I can imagine the little loaches, I can imagine it being a pretty cool and funny experience

Thank you the pic doesn't do him justice. He also is quite docile to, doesn't go after the dojo at all.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Wow what size tank is it?

Also, dojos are cold water, they don't live much in a tropical set up, plus they need a group of at least 5

 

[Bowhunterking]

They can live comfortably in mid- high 70's which is what my tank is set at. It is a 29 gallon tank.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I would rehome the dojo, you need at least 5 and they grow to be a foot long, you should try some kuhli loaches
