Hi Everyone,
after fretting yesterday that I'd killed them all, I can now see two in my tank swimming about looking perfectly healthy (despite one getting trapped in the filter and the other being out of the water while I cleaned the tank). The third is still missing (hasn't been seen since I released them into the tank) but now I have hope.
I find this new fish business very stressful - I wish I'd known they were tiny, skinny and hid in every crevice. Didn't have all these problems when I bought a pair of sailfin mollies the other month!
I definitely want an Eheim Ecco for Christmas - anyone have any trouble with external filters and loaches?
P.S. The other good news is that the loaches are trying to eat snails, although most of the snails are bigger than them. I found two empty snail shells in my tank this morning - the evil type of the snail that's been eating my plants. Maybe the snails have met their nemesis. Next time Tri-Mar have some chain loaches in, I'm in there - if I have to buy a bigger tank to accomodate them as they grow, so be it.
