That's a serious pile! I see some loaches taking cover under some loaches that are hiding under some loaches that are wondering how many loaches are in that tank.

It's now moved by a moderator to this section. It was originally posted in Catfish.

yeah he does and also I made him a loach condo using 3" pvc pieces but he took this pic in the morning before he goes to work at which time he feeds them so I guess they know when breakfast is:grinno:
I've heard in their native waters, a school of clown loaches can strip a cow to the bone in less than a minute, or de-snail an entire stream in seconds...

I believe theirs 81 in the 180g and 18 in another making the grand total 99. He's saving the last slot for a huge one. Just to determine the size, the lima and prochilous are around a foot.
Quite a Mass O' Loaches there.

Even though having clowns myself and liking them a lot I would never get a that kind of pack myself. IMHO The amount of fishes is not the right thing to brag about. I could brag if I had some fish that I have had something like 20 years or so. Sure if you got some huuuuge aquarium, appropriate filtering, lighting etc and if you have had enough time to find out about the requirements of keeping certain fishes then why not.
However sometimes I feel it very bizarre when somebody posts a picture of a tank that in the sense of average finnish aquarium fish keeping habits is heavily overstocked and sterile in the interior point of view and then the next 10 comments are like "awesome", "cool", "kick ass tank/fish", etc. For me that picture reminds me of some 1980's tank in an aquarium store where there are more fishes than water. Maybe there are just some cultural differences or something. If you wan't to understand what I'm aiming for, please look at the pictures in the following thread in the link. It is a thread called "pictures of your aquariums" in the largest finnish aquarium board called aqua-web. Don't worry about the language, you would not be the first one to say it is crazy. ;)

it's called monster fish keepers for a reason. we're not called "Appropriately stocked fish keepers" or something like that. We keep lots of fish, big fish, in very well maintained and overfiltrated tanks.
As my friends say...
Don't worry. We're professionals.

Perhaps I have then misunderstood the name of the site. To my understanding the monster fish keepers is mainly for people with big fishes in a big tanks, not loads of fishes in somewhat big bucket. But don't worry. You keep them your way and I'll keep them mine. ;)
Best regards,
Healty clowns with no ick despite many moves and tank changes. :D

it's called personel prefrence. some ppl like the look of a planted tank while others don't care for it. I like to keep my tanks barebottom besides being easier to clean you don't have to worry about any waste,patogeons,bacteria or parasites living and breeding in the substrate. water chemistry is more important than looks. that pic was taken when it was feeding time normally you would hardly see any of the loaches swimming around they would all be in the pvc caves. also that tank is a 180g.
