Hi and Welcome!!! You can't be all bad, you have blue botias!

Welcome from across the ocean! Glad to see another loach keeper!

Yes, I sure do love my loaches. They have so much personality and they are really quirky. I love it when they "blink" at me and play dead sometimes. It's so cool.

Cool loach blog by the way. And thanks for noticing I'm from overseas. It's cool being able to talk to people from another country. I love it!!

welcome beeline! Its crazy that we all can talk and be so far away.I noticed you have a black ghost. Some one told me they can shock other fish. Is that true?

No need to worry, black ghosts are basically the "bats" of the aquarium world. They just bounce electrical signals off objects to see where they are going. They can't shock other fish. They are only aggressive towards their own kind sometimes, so it's best only to keep one per tank. Ciao!!

By the way, love your Electric Blue JD. I think that's what it is anyway... It's really pretty. What other fish do you have? I read some of your other posts, you know a lot about fish nutrition. Sucks that you get so little sleep dude. How do you focus?

 

[John Rambo]

correct Id friend, it is a ebjd, hard to tell from the pic though. As far as sleep 6 hrs is good enough for me. Its in the day time due to work at night but I have no problem with it.
I know just a fraction of what others know on this site when it come to fish, but if you ever need help, I'll tell you what I know.
