r/loaches

The bloating was an accident but they're active poopers so it won't last. They're happy. For some reason they all love that spot by the heater.

I was expecting bottom dwellers, not corner dwellers 😭

instead of titling with the long name lol pseudogastromyzon lianjianensis babies! yall loved em so much heres some better pics of them grazing this morning!

They like to pancake onto the pellets so no one else can reach them.

One of them has been doing this for the past few hours. Is there something wrong?

I just can’t believe my eyes a Hillstream fry in my tank this morning … any tips? I’ve never raised fry

My big mama loves her shrimp tubes but she is out growing them

She looks so funny hanging out the ends when I catch her in the reflection. I crack up.

An edit that those are not cracks in the tank they are remants of tape residue outside of the tank from those wrap around undersea wall papers

Or is it just me? He will lay where the bubbler is. Then move away and just start farting bubbles. I will try to get a better video soon. Every time I remember to film it, he stops.

Hey there! I’ve noticed my clown loach has these white markings on both of his sides and I’m worried they might be light burns from the heater (since he likes sleeping behind it). The only problem is I’m not finding anything that looks the same so I’m not sure- can anyone here please confirm if you think it’s burn marks?

I’ve had beta fish sleep on the heater with no problems, so I’m worried that if it’s not burns than there might be something that could impact the other fish too

He’ll be too big to go behind there in a few months, to a year, but I just want him to be as safe and unharmed as possible!

Not sure why, but a huge number of loaches just decided this corner was interesting.

The tank hasn't been fed in a couple days, so they aren't attracted by a nugget of food.

How many loaches can you name! There's a few even I'm a bit ehhhh on, species wise.
