loach is about 12 inches. could be longer but the rays nip away at his tail fins lol. hes extremely round and fat that he cant even sit properly and always leans against the glass lol. only ever moves around when i feed carnivore pellets. he goes nuts for those. i got this loach from theo around 10 inches? maju import about 2 years ago. quite impressed with 1 inch growth per year since i know loaches grow extremely slow, especially at this size.
david the 36 watts is ok! doing the job well in keeping the water clear!
ive never raised any black rays to this size before. im quite happy to get this kind of growth out of this pair in about a year. i think they came in june 6 or 16th of 2011. hopefully some breeding action by the end of the year or early next year.
