[x3jazz]

once i t urn off the light they go crazy

[0Turbox]

@x3jazz

So many dumb people in the world... they act like that cause the glass turns into a mirror when you turn of the light. No Fish plays...!

[x3jazz]

@0Turbox

yea i know wat you mean,

thats why i moved my fish tank to a more quiet location

dont think putting the tank right next to the bed was a great idea lols

[liamgray100]

thats so cool. r u feeding them ccrack or sumthin lol

[Soreassbear]

clowns like alot of hiding places to be happy,

[vodkasvictim]

I love the way clown loach eat snails, but I simply lack the space to have many in my aquarium... anyone else know of a method I could use to rid myself of 'em? I got amano shrimp & anti-snail would only knock 'em out.

Great video, thanks for sharing

Can you recommend a species of loach that I could keep in a 90L tank, preferably in a group of 5?

Or is 90L too small?

I've got an empty Roma 90 that I want to set up for loaches.

[drjulesd]

Thanks for the comment. You want to stay clear of a group of CL in a 90l, but i would recommend either zebra or yoyo loach as they tend to stay quite small, around 2" or so, and they look cool as a group. If you're looking to keep CL eventually, you really need around 240l upwards.

[rubusroo68]

Thanks for that :)

I've got 2 * Roma 240's already lol

Each with 2 * Fluval 405's on!

They're cold water for my Orandas that I'm kind of addicted too, along with my Telescopic Eyed Moors.  I just love Goldies, they're so peaceful.

I really wanted to start a Loach species tank. Thanks for your advice & great luck with your fishies!

@drjulesd can you get a smaller type of clown loach or do they all grow the same size as i have a 90 L tank with 2 gourami's 11 barbs and 2 angels i want to add a clown or two is that possible.

nice man ! 5 out of 5 cool tank !

[drjulesd]

cheers buddy. Check out the new vid

[macku0]

hey where you get the sand stone from and does it have any affects on your tank

NICE TANK!!!

[drjulesd]

The sandstone you can just get from most garden centres, however is does alter the Ph in your tank, so you will need to make a couple of adjustments to the water, eg water changes or treatment. It only takes a few days with water changes to balance it out, but it's worth it. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment

[ollieflp]

what are the dimensions in feet?

[drjulesd]

it's a 5ft aquarium.

[123ScotTYalloP123]

lol they look like there on drugs up and down up and down up and down and up

[apauln]

why are they going nuts for the corners?

[drjulesd]

God knows!! This was the first day in their new home, think they were just over excited!

[piccuh]

stunning tank! and fish! the angels are so active! in a large tank like this they actually swim around lots lol. don't mean to sound all weird, but they have a whole new kind of beuty to them when you see them swimming around like that. i was looking into a 6foot, then a 3-4 foot, but (depending on costs and how much water i would have to change each week, lol) maybe i might just look into a 5 foot. It all depends.

love the tank and fish :)

[drjulesd]

Thanks for the comment. The angels grew massive, about the size of your hand in such a short space of time in this tank. Thing is, they turned out to be both males and divided the tank in half between themselves. They would always go for one another over territory, then started nipping at other fish and making a mess of their tails. Had to part with them, but the tank is a lot more peaceful now. Check out the updated vid. :)

[piccuh]

it's a shame that you had to remove them. they both look so beautiful, especially when they swim up and down the tank like that. mine grew from approx 1 and a half inches to about 3-4 inches in two months! they are definetally fast growers. i can't wait to get my hands on some more :) i'm just concerned about keeping them in, say, a 3 foot, because in my experience they don't seem as active as yours. great vid, i'll check out your others :)

[SCOTTISHtiliDie92]

hi cool tank i want one that big one day can you put a new vid on of your new big fish and white clouds plz thanks mate

[KrewLRaiN]

omg they are so happy, what a loach dance!

Someday I wish to have a monster tank with a bunch of happy loaches too. At the rate my 3 are growing it might be sooner then I think xD

[drjulesd]

they have literally doubled in size since i put them in this tank and posted the vid. I should be putting a new vid on soon as the tank looks a lot different now and the loach have settled down now

[h3rbie]

damm dude.. cracked out loaches... lolol jp tnx for sharing.. latee

[cheekybrownlow]
