Well there is no sign of any of them although I haven't had any more loses. I have however upped the amount of food I am giving wondering if I was underfeeding! I have 3 clown loaches, 2 of them are approx 4 inches long and a much smaller one abot 1.5 inches. I'm thinking a second tank may be...

I have tested the water before and after water changes and all is well according to the tests. Is there something I should be looking at specifically bearing in mind the disappearances? I inherited the fish with the tank so didn't have a choice as regards species I appreciate the loaches are...

Hi all, I have 'lost' 3 fish in the last three weeks. When I say lost I mean they have actually completly disappeared! :sad: a ballon platy, glowlight tetra and a zebra loach with no sign of any remains. Could my gold sucking loach be eating them?

Well they are here and settled into their new home - 'club tropicana' as I have christened it: Sadly we lost a clown loach and a golden barb during the move but have 3 clown loaches, a snail eating loach, 2 flying foxes, 6 neons, 6 black striped neons and a beautiful gold sucking loach who is...

Hi All, I have inherited a 4ft fish tank - picking it up later today :unsure: I am a little concerned as I am a first time tropical fish keeper and really don't want to lose the fish. The stocks are down in the tank but there are still a number of fish. I have been conditioning water ready...
