First, a bit of background: I love watching fish...but I am afraid to touch them. I hate snakes....give me the creeps and cause me to shriek and jump on the hood of a car.
Well, I went ahead and got three more of the weather loaches. I have four of these suckers now slithering all over my tank. They still freak me out a bit, but I love watching them. I still get the involuntary shudder once in a while....and I am actually dreading any rock or plant re-arranging! lol
I have heard they like the cooler temps....what is the water temp of the tanks that you guys have them in?
Long story short: we decided to winter the goldfish indoors so we could watch them and so we didn't have to buy a pond heater. They still aren't in the pond...I am not sure when or if they will go back out there as I just love the shubunkin. Oh, he's so pretty. Anyway, the loaches are now in with the goldfish and all is well. If I ever put the goldfish back in the pond, what can I put in the tank with these cool water-loving loaches? Can I crank up the temp and do a regular tank with community or semi-agressive fish?
TIA
