Also, I do not have a breeder tank and do not intend to set one up unless I can find more information on the proper care and harvesting of fry. I have done nothing to stimulate this, in factit is quite a surprise to me and totally unintentional.ĭOES ANYONE have ANY advice/information on what I am to do? I have no clue about water conditions it needs to lay the eggs or what to do to ensure that this loach does not die in the process. I know that there is little to no information on the breeding habits of loaches, so I am curious to know if it is possible that this one is gravid? I assume that they are egg layers. I noticed the female's stomach beginning to expand about 3 months after they were established in the tank. Both zebras have grown since they were introduced to the tank, approximately 1/4 of an inch. My other zebra loach has maintained a normal size stomach. She, I say she because I am assuming she is pregnant, is very active, eats regularly and is exhibiting NO signs of stress or illness.
This has been increasing in size over the last thirty days. One of my zebra loaches has a very LARGE bloated stomach. I test regularly too, feed every other to every two days, and have a very happy community tank. All of my water parameters are good, I do regular water changes every week of about 20-30%. So if I could get a little help with making a final decision on this it would be great since I am making my stocking lists now.Hello all! A few weeks back I posted with some questions about one of my zebra loaches. They will be the only bottom-dwellers in their (grower) tank and they will never run out of snails, the tank that the invasion started in is a tank that I can’t put snail eating fish in for fear that they will eat my shrimp and I don’t care for assassin snails and would rather not have them. I have considered mixing them into a good sized group but I am not sure if they would get along with each other since they are different species? I know I will have to separate them when the clowns get too big to be with the zebras but that won’t be a problem. I like both clowns and zebras, and the clown loaches large size is not an issue because I can move them with a larger tank once they get a little bigger and they are so adorable and playful their precious! I also like the zebra loaches, they have a really nice pattern and the ones I had before were pretty chill and acted a lot like my clown loaches. I am trying to decide on which loach to get Zebra or Clown? I have kept both at different times in the past but I never had them with snails because I knew they would eat them but I ,accidentally, got ramshorn snails in one of my tanks a year, which wasn’t a problem because I planned on raising them for my tanks especially for my snail eaters, but the snail eaters I have ( goldfish and koi) aren’t eating enough of them and now there are ramshorn snails in every single one of my tanks contains snails and they number in the thousands now! I have one tank setup for a betta which from what I understand will eat small snails and another tank setup for a pea puffer but I feel they are going to need help so I am looking into getting loaches again.
