  • Finally Found Clown Loaches

    I love the way these guys look in an aquarium filled with Cichlids. I have been to several stores in houston and nothing. I'm getting a new job and was in Houma, LA which is like 300 miles away. Went to their local PetsMart and what do you know. Tank with like 8 Loaches in it. So i picked up three that are about an inch and a half long. After that i drove to Lafayette, LA for some more classes and i'll be heading back today with these fish. They are doing good so far. I bought an air pump that i used at the hotel tonight and also an AC adapter for the drive home. I hope they survive. These little guy have been traveling, hole in their bag and everything. They have three fish stores here in Lafayette all within a quarter mile. They had some very nice fish but i'm thinking its harder to keep them alive unlike these loaches. So i resisted purchasing any.

    I guess this all part of the fish addiction. And i'm just a newbie!!! lol....

    I'm glad you found some Clown loaches......I like them, too. If you want some more, Fishland on Westheimer has a tank full of the same size that you bought. If you are looking for a fish and you can't find it...ask around the Box...because alot of us frequent the LFS.

            clowns catch ich very easilly, and being in the situation they are in right now, they will likely have it, so quarintine them in their own little tank for atleast 2 weeks before adding them to the rest of the main tank.

              Darn! Will do... I was all stoked about throwing them in the big tank. Oh well, better safe than sorry.

                I found a ClownLoach where hwy 35 crosses the Guadalupe River....... he was 14" and I didn't have a big enough bucket to bring him home.
                'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                    Amazing, I am suprised that it was able to survive in water that cold. It must have acclimated somehow.
