Those are some sweet loaches, great pick up! do you mind if I ask your water parameters?

 

[Bigtdotcom]

nitrate gets to around 20 or 30 after 1 wk, ammonia and nitrite always 0. ph 7.4

 

[jvai]

7.4 ph... your loaches have a really good orange to them. What are they eating... sorry man I didn't mean to derail your thread

 

[Bigtdotcom]

they mainly get brine shrimp with spiralina and blood worms . Some times the will eat hikiri pellets i put in for my cichlids and they also like eating zuccini i put in for my bristlenose

i have the ph at 7.4 cause thats what my tap water is. i have driftwood in my tank which lowers my ph but also have crushed coral in my filter to raise it back up to 7.4 so it dosent jump up and down when i do a water change
