18 Clown Loaches in 2 Days!!!

[shookONES]

YES!!!! After spending the better part of a Saturday afternoon, a tank of gas, and about $100, I came home happy. I added a bunch of oddball clown loaches to my existing school, including a short body! I went away for a week, and came home to find chaos...18 of my 19 clown loaches----DEAD! Ick breakout and noone was home to treat. Sigh...forget loaches. I always knew cats were for me. Here's a shot of my shortbody and a normal before their final plunge.

On a better note, I picked up some new fish from SA yesterday-2 Uaru, Marble Sailfin cat, small Adonis pleco, and a cichlid who's name escapes me at the moment. Pics to follow!

Did you give them full military honor's before you flushed them into their watery grave?

I always add lots of salt whenever I introduce new clown loaches. Haven't loss any due to ick.

Dude, that sucks. Just goes to show, fishkeepers should never leave the house!

 

[M|L]

yeah! next time, pack up your tanks and fishes wherever you're going!

Sorry for the losses. You picked up new fish to replace them fast enough. But, what did you do about the ich problem before adding the new fish?

I think you just used the poor loaches as an excuse to show off your sparkling white
toilet bowl .
