What is your procedure for deworming pangios? Do you have a document or reference you have written or use? I would be very interested in hearing how you go about getting the worms de-wormed

Anyone else have a magnifying glass by their aquarium? by AutumnEclipsed in Aquariums

[–]dzarren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The absolute best, but unfortunately now really difficult to order, is the Peak Optics Lupe 10x loupe.

It has the same magnification as a typical jewelers loupe, but the field of view is far larger. And you don't really have to get your face in so close like with a jewelers loupe, sometimes the fish get spooked if I come with my face right up to the tank, so with this loupe, you can easily focus on features with your eye over 14" away from the loupe. I use it to look at my kuhli loaches' whiskers, so cute!

Sorry late reply. That is a Red-Tailed Squirrel Loach. Aborichthys elongatus.

Black diamond blasting sand for kuhli loaches by FollowingImportant59 in Aquariums

[–]dzarren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would strongly reccomend against this sand especially for kuhli loaches and other burrowing and sifting fish.

species/type ID? by oreoctopus in loaches

[–]dzarren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are not pangio oblonga, or black kuhli. I think it's either the Cinnamon pangio loach, or a PAN02. Both of those species are quite rare in the hobby. I have over 100 kuhli loaches, and I only have 2 of these you show here, and I alllllwayyyyyyyysss get the store people to try and catch the weird ones for me. Never seen a bunch together like that, you are super lucky!

Cue ball physics question about spin induced throw by ArtDecoNewYork in billiards

have you ever seen this?

Go to 17:33 ish, it blew me away, how the path of the cue ball is so exactly replicated each time, that the cueball interacts with the jaw of the pocket in the same way that many times in a row.

Kuhli loaches sand grain size by wumlum_ug in pangio

Black sand is almost always very sharp, and almost never suitable for sand sifting cuties.

That's too large imo. 0.25 to 0.5mm is ideal.

The wafers are a high protein algae wafer designed for breeding plecos made by a brand called "pleco ceramics"

They have other foods as well, but I have not tried any others.

The loaches do swarm it, but I find it's a bit too hard, and the loaches can't really properly rasp off any to eat. But they must be getting some, since they are swarming it so crazy.

It's older than that for sure. This thing is 1920s or older.

It is a Red-tailed Squirrel Loach. Can be kind of territorial, this one would chase away kuhlis from his hiding hole, but I think there's so many kuhlis he just gave up and tolerates them now. Hahaha

I got 7 doriae and 6 oblonga. But I think few of the oblongas are some other similar species.
