I urgently need to find a new home for my one remaining Clown Loach. He is not doing at all well without his buddies and I fear that he will not survive. He spends most of the day lying on his side but seems to be swimming okay other times . If it wasn't for the fact that CL do lay on their sides quite a lot, I would think that he was very ill. However, I'm really not sure.

He needs to be with other CL so I would need someone to prove to me that they were doing this.

I don't want any money for this fish , I just want somebody to care for him and give him a good home with other CL's

Hi


I hope you find a nice home for him.

all the best hun

Thanks, I'm not expecting anyone on here to take them because nobody really lives close to me, I am right down in Devon.I think I will probably have to have a word with some of the local fish stores, there are quite a few in the area

hey boss ..is all this stock from your 8 footer please????????

Hi boss. I have about 10 clown loach at the moment. Varying from 3 to 6 inches. I dont live near devon but my g-friends nan lives down there in exmouth and we are visiting next bank holiday weekend (approx 2 weeks time). The only problem is getting it back to mine as the journey usually takes about 4 hours due to bad traffic. Whats your thoughts? I suspect it too far a distance

Yes, that's quite a long time. Having said that, I got them from Trimar in Camborne and I had them shipped through the post. I believe they use liquid oxygen but don't hold me to that. They also putheated bags of water in the packaging.

It's a bit of a difficult one. I don't want to say it's okay because it's not something I've ever done myself. The longest I've transported fish is around half an hour.

it's certainly a nice offer and will be so good if he could go to a home to be with some of his own

They were in my 125 gallon tank and I had to put them in the 300 gallon. Believe me, I feel absolutely terrible about what happened to them, if only I'd left them where they were.

i can say that i have moved my oscars and my pleco a total distance of 3 1/2 hours which was all driving and they did fine i had a huge tub for them and before i made the move i put both air stones in the water for an hour and they did fine during the trip. but i know fish stores here in the states do have battery operated air pumps too so its an option for a long travel. just a lil info from my experiences for ya.

What happened to them?

I will look on the web in the next couple days to see what they say about transporting fish. A friend of mine has a battery operated air pump with air stone so lack of oxygen is not a problem. I also have a polystyrene box

Ask.. Oldmedic.. He's your man for shipping instructions.. And possibly car transport...

i have a power inverter for my truck ....when im moving fish i can do it from ANY distance .....the power inverter plugs into the cigarette lighter and gives you 240v ordinary plugs in a car/truck ..........soooooooooo i have a 10gal plastic box with a sealable lid .....and i put an ordinary 50w aquarium heater , a fluval 4 plus internal filter ..and an airpump with an airstone ...and fill it with water from my tank at home ....and off you go ...full tropical set up in my car with normal ordinary household 240v gear running it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fish transport is EASY FOLKS !!!!!!

I have one of those too BGH... They work great...
