I'm fascinated by the spectacular tank! How do they clean it without disturbing the plants and the bottom? Or do they never do a gravel wash?? How does it not get dirty? Please, if you can reply to this, I would be grateful to learn!
Hi can you please tell me if your shark is ever aggressive to your clowns or any other fish had one non aggressive one now I just keep getting physcos that hate my clowns and other loaches and end up taking back to the lfs for another
I like it, but could do with a little colour. It's very green! Lush I suppose! I call Clown Loachs "Flipper" as I love how their "feet-like" fins flap and paddle them around. So cute!
How are your clowns doing today? It looked like I could begin to see their spines. Your tank looks great though and I have a personal fondness of the RTS.
The only picture i know is the one one "loaches com". I've never seen such spledid specimen live or on youtube. Your big guys are pretty nice ones. How big are they?
@n03lzz 12 inches maybe a little more. Ive never even seen a pic of a 13" clown loach much less a 16"er. Even the aquariums around here dont have loaches over the 10-11" mark. Those are roseline sharks BTW not red tails.
Well, this is non of my personal tanks. Mine are "only" 4.5 inches.^^ This one is just a well-fed adult one. It isn't overfed that's how a splendid specimen should look like.
They are kinda prone for ich, especially when the water temperature dropps to much during the transport. But you can treat it. It's a sickness that is caused by to much stress.
the redtail is enormous!!! mine is 12cm ( a female). we have had her for a year. but we are getting a new tank (240litres) but we are not keeping her because she is so territorial and kills almost any fish that comes into the tank. a bit upset by this.
Yes, you should heed some advices if you want to keep RTBS. Have you seen the info box on my other video called "My three Red-tailed black sharks / Feuerschwanz Fransenlipper [5/5] " or /watch?v=N1v2Bg5-suc ?
Hi! Uhm, first this is not my tank. It's out of a zoo near my hometown. For scale: The front glass panel is 1,2 meter (3.93 feet) high. So is way bigger than the 125 gallon that you suggest. But you are right. They do need big tanks. Thanks for your comment.
Hi, this fish is called "Red-tailed black shark" (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor). For further information check out my other video (and it's video description): It's called "My three Red-tailed black sharks / Feuerschwanz Fransenlipper [5/5]" or /watch?v=N1v2Bg5-suc
Kribenesis are beautiful. Be careful though, they fight with the bottom dwelling sharks - Red Tailed Sharks and Rainbow Sharks in my experience. They really tend to compete with them for hiding places.
what fish in the cichlid family do you think would be good in a 32 gallon tank to breed? i have my unpside catfish but it's a sailfin catfish basically the same i guess and well the rest are kinda just filler neons n all that i kinda want some fish that are more of a challange and some personality, maybe i'll get a school of clowns then! hah :D now that i think about it haha(Y)
What would you think of a pair of kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher). They look awesome. They have a very nice breeding behavior and they need not much space. Ok, they are not very challenging to keep.
It was like: "Plecostomus is the best fish" - "No, Plecostomus grow to big" - "Not all Plecos grow that big" - "A Plecostomus is not a Pleco"... And i felt a little bit lost in translation.^^
You are totally right. There are some very cool smaller growing plecs which are perfect algae-eaters. Best regards.
i was talking about it's size dude, not really anything about the species at all, cuz well if you can house a foot long fish then try for something that grows smaller but does the same job like cleaning the algue for your tank that's all, i wasn't trying to be spot on with spelling it's name or whatever but hey that's what post a comment is for right wouldn't be there if you weren't aloud thank god we live in a non communist country haha:P they don't even allow youtube over there it's crazy lol
yeah but dude there are a lot of different species of pleco. try a golden nugget or anything really google it i plan on getting it basically because it only grows a max in captivity of about 4 inches which is FAR from a 12 incher! haha i at least THINk it's the golden pleco. that grows that big have to research somemore:) god fish are amazing haha have myself a 32 gallon but i'm in need of a 72 for sure that would be perfect haha
That's true but "Plecostomus" isn't equal to "Pleco". Plecostomus is also known with the scientific name "Hypostomus plecostomus" aka "suckermouth catfish" (and those guys grow huge).
That's a problem with the english language. It's not my mother language and you guys describe species very very unprecise and confusing. =)
But there are two things with plecostomus. They grow freaking big (about one foot long), so they need huge tanks. And the don't eat only algae, but all kinds of plants.
Are you refering on the clown loaches? They grow very big, so they need very big tanks. A 25 gallon would be too small, sorry. You should also keep them in bigger groups. Check out "loaches com" for further informations.
Really? As with keeping every other fish, it depends on a proper tank, but in my tank i've absolutly no problem in this combination. Quite the reverse, they are best tankmates. (Btw. this is not my tank)
No actually it is the experiance of people who have kept clown loaches for several years. Now try and find 10year old 12"+ clown loaches living in established and lush planted aquariums...i doubt you can. Loachesonline happens to be a site dedicated to the keeping of these animals and Emma Turner is well known around the world for her experiance. But is not just her.
its true , i own clown loaches !!! one of them loves to tear up my plants !!! he will sometimes poke holes and other times just rip them to shreds . i dont understand why but they just do .one is 5.5 inches and the other is roughly 8 inches
When those clown loach amture they will rip all those palnts up. Shame, they are lovely fish, but i cant keep them becuase i have a plantd tank and know what these little fellas will do when they arent so little.
I've never seen or heard something about such a behaviour. I keep them in my planted tank. Ok.. they are not mature and one feet long, but they've never touched my plants.
I'm always grateful for this kinds of background informations. My clown loaches are only about 4.5 inches long jet. Let's see what will happen in the next years.^^
I hope they will behave for you. Like I mentioned before i would love to keep them, they will probably be fine for some years, but one day... :0
I have two species of loach in my 864litre, one is Golden zebra Loach (histronica)x5 and the other Zebra species is striata x 3. They grow 6" and 3-4" max.
Yeah, get a couple Polka Dots if you can. I know someone that keeps them with Clowns. They're just so peaceful and look cool. They will not uproot plants or move stuff around like Yoyo Loaches do.
I don't know I guess my Rainbow Shark's were just really aggressive. I do know for a fact though that sometimes you get a peaceful Rainbow or a peaceful RTBS. Right now the RTBS I have is reallllly peaceful. I'm happy with that.
Clown Loaches are awesome. You should also try Polka Dot Loaches, if you can find them. They are very peaceful and do not have teeth like the Clown Loach does.
I've heard some RTBS's can be nasty. I had an Albino Rainbow Shark that got about 6 inches and that guy was a peaceful swimmer, but he had killed many fish, a dwarf gourami, blue rams, and others as well. This was in a big tank too with lots of hiding places. The regular Rainbow I had was just as bad, actually nipping at fins of other large and small fish.
HolySasquatchTurd * i have kept a few rainbow shark myself... when i first bought them i had 2.. one chased the other constantly... the one that got chased alot was very slow growing where as the other got bigger.. the smaller one jumped out of the tank just before i was gonna move him... i have noticed that when you only keep one they keep to themselves... if you want to keep more i recomend a big tank with TONS of hiding places because when they see each other they always chase.
i was told that fish sizes are generated by genetics like humans... if you breed to small sized "red tailed black sharks" together you will most likely get a small one... vise versa.
I've never heard something like that associated with RTBS. What i know is, that they breed them in big farms by using hormones, because there is no other way to breed them in captivity.
Yes, sure. But i cannot believe they did some giant breeds. That's totally untypical for fishkeeping. Usually the native forms wich live in natural habitats have the biggest specimen.
Are you sure that Red Tailed Shark is 8 inches? They usually reach 6 inches. 7 inches in some cases. I never heard of 8 inches. As for keeping Red Tailed Sharks, you need a minimum of 55 gallons, hiding places, bogwood or rocks, lots of plants, they will love you for that and will thrive and reach a big size. Feed theme algae wafers/sinking wafers, flakes, bloodworms and brine shrimp.
I've heard about 8 inches in really big tanks. I guess it's size, but it nearly reaches my hand span which is 8 inches. But i'm going to prove that, the next time i visit him. Check out my lates video of my sharks called: "My three Red-tailed black sharks / Feuerschwanz Fransenlipper [5/5]" or /watch?v=N1v2Bg5-suc . There i put some of my knowledge into the video description.
@HolySasquatchTurd - i've seen 8 inch rainbow sharks at the specialty store i go to. the guy told me that they were caught in the wild and could actually get maybe an inch larger.
Nice Denisoni Barbs (Torpedo barbs/Roseline sharks...) I have seven in my 8 footer, but they arent SE Asian fish they come from South Asia In Kerala,India
@ownagevids888: I've had the same problem with mine, and it MIGHT have been a bacterial infection. I tried Sera's Bactopur Direct (mostly because a platy died, and an angelfish wouldn't eat), but the redtail got a much bigger apetite, and now regularly eat flakes.
This should be the last resort however, since Bactopur kills all the bacteria, including the good ones, so your tank will be "reset".
Hi, red tailed black sharks a clown loaches definetly need bigger tanks with about 100 gallon. It's ok for the tiger barbs. Maybe choose some smaller loaches.
NO you need 4 minimum Clown loaches they are very social fish they need there own kind and secondly a 26 gallon tank is far to small for one clown loach
You posted your question too often, so it got marked as spam. I answer it also if you ask me once.^^
That's normal. They need up to one year to accustom themselves to a new tank. First they are very anxious but they will become more brave from day to day.
hey dude one question not related to uer vid but cant i put this in a 29 gallon tank with lots of plants(normal amont) good center piece(drift wood) and stock in there
1 koi angel fish
6-8 rummy nose tetras
3 blood fin tetras or danios
6 albino cory cats
3-5 oto cats
and any more u think i can add to it or is it okay were it is at
29 gallon is definitively too small for angel fish but the rest is ok. Maybe a few more bloodfin tetras to have a nice group. If you abandon the danios you have a nice south american theme.
I would start with the community like this and think about adding other fish later when the tank is running good.
Echinodorus (Burhead) are mostly easy to grow. So plants like Echinodorus bleheri (commonly known as Amazon sword plant) would be great for such a theme.
They are very closely related and have the same requirements. Those are very big cichlids, in your case i wouldn't try to find a very big one that might suffer in your tank after a few years. Try to find some fish that can develop to a splendid specimen in your tank.
How do you get the colors of your fish so full? I'm thinking about getting some clown loaches for my new 55 gal, but the colors are usually dull in the pet stores. Answer please?
The colours of fish in pet stores are often very dull. It's because they don't feel comfortable there. If you put those fish in a proper tank with proper food, they will change their colour soon. It's important that you don't buy slimmed down loaches. That's a bad sign.
E.g. the fish at 0:17 ? Those are red lined torpedo barb, roseline shark, bleeding eye barb, or Denison's barb (Puntius denisonii)... And thank you! =)

I don't know I guess my Rainbow Shark's were just really aggressive. I do know for a fact though that sometimes you get a peaceful Rainbow or a peaceful RTBS. Right now the RTBS I have is reallllly peaceful. I'm happy with that.
HolySasquatchTurd 2 years ago
Clown Loaches are awesome. You should also try Polka Dot Loaches, if you can find them. They are very peaceful and do not have teeth like the Clown Loach does.
HolySasquatchTurd 2 years ago
Polka Dot loaches.. That's a cool suggestion. They would match perfectly into my 111 us gallon Southeast Asia tank.
n03lzz 2 years ago
I've heard some RTBS's can be nasty. I had an Albino Rainbow Shark that got about 6 inches and that guy was a peaceful swimmer, but he had killed many fish, a dwarf gourami, blue rams, and others as well. This was in a big tank too with lots of hiding places. The regular Rainbow I had was just as bad, actually nipping at fins of other large and small fish.

@HolySasquatchTurd really? i have NEVER had a rainbow touch another fish

HolySasquatchTurd * i have kept a few rainbow shark myself... when i first bought them i had 2.. one chased the other constantly... the one that got chased alot was very slow growing where as the other got bigger.. the smaller one jumped out of the tank just before i was gonna move him... i have noticed that when you only keep one they keep to themselves... if you want to keep more i recomend a big tank with TONS of hiding places because when they see each other they always chase.
gaga434 2 years ago
i was told that fish sizes are generated by genetics like humans... if you breed to small sized "red tailed black sharks" together you will most likely get a small one... vise versa.
gaga434 2 years ago
I've never heard something like that associated with RTBS. What i know is, that they breed them in big farms by using hormones, because there is no other way to breed them in captivity.
n03lzz 2 years ago
@n03lzz well yes but thats just to get them to breed... the genetics determines the sizes...
gaga434 2 years ago
Yes, sure. But i cannot believe they did some giant breeds. That's totally untypical for fishkeeping. Usually the native forms wich live in natural habitats have the biggest specimen.
n03lzz 2 years ago
Another Q, have you kept Rainbow Sharks before? I find that they're much more aggressive most of the time.
HolySasquatchTurd 2 years ago
To my knowleadge the specialist literature says that it's less aggressive, but i've never kept them.
n03lzz 2 years ago
Oh yeah, forgot to ask. Are you using flourish fertilizers? If so, which ones?
HolySasquatchTurd 2 years ago
I don't use any fertilizers.

Are you sure that Red Tailed Shark is 8 inches? They usually reach 6 inches. 7 inches in some cases. I never heard of 8 inches. As for keeping Red Tailed Sharks, you need a minimum of 55 gallons, hiding places, bogwood or rocks, lots of plants, they will love you for that and will thrive and reach a big size. Feed theme algae wafers/sinking wafers, flakes, bloodworms and brine shrimp.
HolySasquatchTurd 2 years ago
I've heard about 8 inches in really big tanks. I guess it's size, but it nearly reaches my hand span which is 8 inches. But i'm going to prove that, the next time i visit him. Check out my lates video of my sharks called: "My three Red-tailed black sharks / Feuerschwanz Fransenlipper [5/5]" or /watch?v=N1v2Bg5-suc . There i put some of my knowledge into the video description.
n03lzz 2 years ago
@HolySasquatchTurd - i've seen 8 inch rainbow sharks at the specialty store i go to. the guy told me that they were caught in the wild and could actually get maybe an inch larger.

They are barbs. It's a Southeast Asian themed tank.

Nice Denisoni Barbs (Torpedo barbs/Roseline sharks...) I have seven in my 8 footer, but they arent SE Asian fish they come from South Asia In Kerala,India

my red tail just hides and doesnt eat , can anyone help?/
ownagevids888 2 years ago
Can you upload a video of your tank so i can get an idea of it?
Try to offer him some vegetable like cucumber. Put a slice in a cup with boiling water for a minute and sink it in your tank.
n03lzz 2 years ago
@ownagevids888: I've had the same problem with mine, and it MIGHT have been a bacterial infection. I tried Sera's Bactopur Direct (mostly because a platy died, and an angelfish wouldn't eat), but the redtail got a much bigger apetite, and now regularly eat flakes.
This should be the last resort however, since Bactopur kills all the bacteria, including the good ones, so your tank will be "reset".

hey could i fit 7 tiger barbs, 1 red tailed shark, and 3 clown loaches in a 26 gallon tank
fcdskid3 2 years ago
Hi, red tailed black sharks a clown loaches definetly need bigger tanks with about 100 gallon. It's ok for the tiger barbs. Maybe choose some smaller loaches.
n03lzz 2 years ago
NO you need 4 minimum Clown loaches they are very social fish they need there own kind and secondly a 26 gallon tank is far to small for one clown loach
onebto 2 years ago
i just got 4 clown loach and they hide inside a holo pice of bogwood . do clown loach normaly hide?
debonofamily 2 years ago
You posted your question too often, so it got marked as spam. I answer it also if you ask me once.^^
That's normal. They need up to one year to accustom themselves to a new tank. First they are very anxious but they will become more brave from day to day.
n03lzz 2 years ago
hey dude one question not related to uer vid but cant i put this in a 29 gallon tank with lots of plants(normal amont) good center piece(drift wood) and stock in there
1 koi angel fish
6-8 rummy nose tetras
3 blood fin tetras or danios
6 albino cory cats
3-5 oto cats
and any more u think i can add to it or is it okay were it is at
(29 gallon us gallon set)
TheAquariumKid 2 years ago
29 gallon is definitively too small for angel fish but the rest is ok. Maybe a few more bloodfin tetras to have a nice group. If you abandon the danios you have a nice south american theme.
I would start with the community like this and think about adding other fish later when the tank is running good.
n03lzz 2 years ago
o okay so wat kind of plants u think well be good with a south american theme ??
TheAquariumKid 2 years ago
Echinodorus (Burhead) are mostly easy to grow. So plants like Echinodorus bleheri (commonly known as Amazon sword plant) would be great for such a theme.
n03lzz 2 years ago
Really, cause I was thinking of adding an altum to my 29gal....
blownable 2 years ago
Altum angels are very hard to keep, and they grow huge. Apart from this they should be kept in groups. Honestly, I wouldn't try that.
n03lzz 2 years ago
Would scalares be okay as singles?
blownable 2 years ago
They are very closely related and have the same requirements. Those are very big cichlids, in your case i wouldn't try to find a very big one that might suffer in your tank after a few years. Try to find some fish that can develop to a splendid specimen in your tank.
n03lzz 2 years ago
@n03lzz wat are the striped fish not the loaches but the other 1 reply via msg please would apriciate it
stezmaster13 2 years ago
The ones in the at 0:20 in the foreground?
Those are called:
red lined torpedo barb, roseline shark, bleeding eye barb, or Denison's barb (Puntius denisonii)

to be honest for me discuss are the worlds most difficult fish besides arowana.

awesome video, this helped me to decide on getting a red tailed shark as i was unsure of compatibility with the clowns. cheers!

Red tailed black sharks and clown loaches doing fine in a community tank. If the tank is big enough, of course.
n03lzz 2 years ago
How do you get the colors of your fish so full? I'm thinking about getting some clown loaches for my new 55 gal, but the colors are usually dull in the pet stores. Answer please?
shadowblader1234 2 years ago
good water, regular water changes and some chemicals for the water to add nutrients
shashascene 2 years ago
The colours of fish in pet stores are often very dull. It's because they don't feel comfortable there. If you put those fish in a proper tank with proper food, they will change their colour soon. It's important that you don't buy slimmed down loaches. That's a bad sign.
n03lzz 2 years ago
ok, thanks

here is an example of fancy jibberish:
klonnt wegr thuy waggner niyh hyky shuok
Meaning:Your face looks like a pile of donkey sh*t.
Uses: Speaking to a teacher you dont like Making fun of people in front of their faces.
Note: the 2nd 1 will probably not wor as youre probably gonna be the one who gets made fun of
