Very active, approx 3" each right now, and unfortunately I found they eat my gupppy fry Red Tail Zebra Loach (Schistura subfusca) [/font][/font][/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Next question what will he eat when he is fully grown? Lovely clear photos as usual. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Just be careful, occasionally they can be aggressive. Last edited by Cory Addict at 30-Jul-2005 23:01 I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Some of my cichlids chase them around but the loaches have found lots of good hiding places, and again as they get larger I don't see this being a continuing problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
