xbones Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Got some fish that may be getting too big for my tank, so if someone has a big enough tank then you're welcome to them. 2 Clown Loach (Approx 5 inches) 1 Sailfin Plec (Approx 7 inches) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I keep a community aquarium but I don't know if the more aggressive fish would be compatible with Clown loaches. I know that they can suffer with stress in more aggressive environments and new tanks make them more susceptible to 'Ich' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hmm .. tempted to take the clown loaches off you, but I fear my water may be a bit too hard for them. They're great fish to have though, so would recommend them to anyone with tropical fish. They can grow quite large though: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/clown...ia-macracanthus -------------------- My Tech Blog - ManxFriends Profile - Catch me on Twitter Here's what's going on in the Manx Blogosphere Manx Online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sexual dimorphism: Mature fish deepen considerably and females tend to be bulkier. There are various theories about caudal fin lobe shapes being different, but these are inconclusive. I did ask about the age and sex but Keyboader and Mission seem to think that it was some kind of joke. http://www.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30600 Closing a thread without the opportunity to reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbones Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Someone with a 500l tank has said they'll have em, I'll post back up if they don't go. Now I'm single I won't be pressured into buying pretty fish, just appropriate ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Would be interested in the loaches potentially if they'd fit in with my lot: 3 Buenos Aries Tetras 4 Dannios 1 Angel Fish 2 Convict Cichlids 1 Nocturnal hiding style catfish 1 Rapidly expanding evil lobster (the reason I wouldn't risk taking the plec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
