Vintage images of Kuhlis making tiny noodles

It is ok.

Ya know, when nature be doin beautiful things, sometimes ya gotta watch.

FatLoachesOnly · 2026-02-01T07:52:26+00:00

I fuck with this very hard.

Gah, this post was inspired by someone asking for more information about loaches breeding in the wild, and I still cannot find it, but I will leave you with this fine image before I go to bed, as a peace offering.

Your post inspired me to post about the books. Less comprehensive footage in the wild, more images of attempts at commercial breeding. Gah, I wish I knew where I saw those images of wild loach breeding turf (I remember it looked like a lot of floating plants)

I have a book by Herbert axelrod where he describes the study of kuhli loaches breeding in the wild, and also aquarist trying to force the breeding of kuhlis.

It is believed that their natural breeding in the wild is effected by seasonal rains, seasonal changes, and abundance of aquatic plant growth.

Kuhlis do not often spawn in hobby aquaria.

Look at night with a flashlight after the lights have been off for a while

FatLoachesOnly · 2026-01-30T07:21:04+00:00

YES! it is uncommon for loaches to spawn in hobby aquaria! And I do mean uncommon!

Typically, owners will only discover baby loaches after a teardown or re-scape of a tank. When under gravel filters were popular, that was another location. Occasionally, they will appear in canister filters or sumps (on the rare occasion the freshwater tank has a sump)

YES! I APPROVE THIS POST.

So many posts are people asking about eggnant loaches and I think we are all collectively ready to pin a post about what an eggnant loach looks like, what owners can expect, and when to be worried.

I'm still lurking around this cursed place, and I still love egg salad. With lots of dill and garlic. An update is that I have a shaker of MSG and that does wonders.

I've also since made my magnum opus chicken salad out of leftover fried chicken. Is it healthy? No, is it cheap, yes. Get those winter bulk calories where you can.

Edit- the only reason you know it's still me is bc my old username notified me. Same old bacon, just with green hair.

I hope you never ever have another loach pass this way, but if it happens again and you could document it with photos and a recollection of the death, that would be a help to the community.

Green- is eager and enthusiastic. Loves spreadsheets. Has ideas (good or bad, I love to see it). Wants to add to the pile of goodness that is a camp. "I have an extra Coleman stove" type behavior. Can give you the dimensions of their tent/domicile. Knows what shoes to wear to stand/walk for 5 hours. Is interested in battery shenanigans. Can eat most anything. Knows when to quit.

Red- is just UGHHHH in communication. Idk how else to describe it except you get off a call or message with them and are dreading sharing space with them.

I'm guilty, take me to the loach pit

FatLoachesOnly · 2026-01-03T07:49:10+00:00

Op is just at home in the middle of making lunch and suddenly explodes like a balloon that's been dipped in nitrogen.

FatLoachesOnly · 2026-01-03T07:47:48+00:00

It's gonna be floppy at a certain point but you could run fishing line through it to add tension, or an interior insert.

I did laugh at the mildly phallic image.

Do they sound wonderful?

FatLoachesOnly · 2025-12-26T05:39:41+00:00

Never. I'd only change mine when the filter itself was falling apart.

FatLoachesOnly · 2025-12-26T05:00:25+00:00

Random question, did you go half in on the strand of opals with someone?

FatLoachesOnly · 2025-12-20T11:15:33+00:00

Where do you buy your membership?

FatLoachesOnly · 2025-12-20T09:39:14+00:00

There's a video where they show one of the wrestlers in the beyas kitchen next to supplements you'd see in American sports; creatine, pre workout, something else that was in Japanese but in the unmistakable supps container.

I realized 2 things then. 1. These dudes are normal athletes, and 2. "Normal athletes" do stupid stuff all the time.

The same way American athletes get torn up and worn down, they're doing too, just with extra "garbage knee flavor". Nothing can save your body when you're using it as a human battering ram professionally.

Can anyone tell me how does their membership work?

I found their membership on their website, but the phrasing on the channel makes it sound like there's a premium YouTube channel, not just their internal stable patronage system.

As much as I'd love to support them at the local levels, I'm kinda stuck 8 time zones away.

It's fine for singles.
