Loaches Online Forum

They only eat algae in the tank and I am afraid the aufwuchs(micro organisms in the algae) won't be enough to sustain all of them. I fear it's also the reason why most of my P.cheni fry died. They refuse to eat veggie pellets or anything else for that matter. The MTS gets to it in a few hours and I...

Hi
It's T.pulcher.

Thanks for the great info Charles! Hi If you want so see more http://www.seriouslyfish.com/forums/freshwater-and-brackish-water-fishes/protomyzon-pachychilus/ A "species preservation-project" by 10 breeders is going on in Europe, alimented by an importer with 10 specimen for each selected breeder. ...

Hi Certainly not S. albisurea and probably not S. sp SEW01. I see three possibilities: one is a species described by Nguyen 2005 - there we know nothing about or S. sp SEW01 has some variants in patterning, which I dont believe, as head-shape is different too. And third: hybrid which is possible for...

[quote="f1sleepy"]Is it not protomyzon pachychilus?

Exact name is Yaoshania pachychilus. ´Protomyzon` never was the right genus name. Protomyzon are endemic to Borneo.

Hi It's a loach from China and since December 2012 named Yaoshania pachychilus. It was temporarly put into ' Protomyzon ' by M. Kottelat because it was clear that it doesn't belong to Protomyzon, endemic to Borneo. Yaoshania is a new genus with one species. As the species is highly endangered by hum...

Hi all the mistery about the "yellow" Tanichthys is solved. In AMAZONAS 41 Mai/June 2012 Ingo Seidel shows pics of the new species, pics of eggs and fry inclusive. The species has been found by Mikael Hakànson/Imazo and Saigon Aquarium in 2009 Da Nang province in Vietnam. Specimen have been exported...

nice looking specimen indeed, Jim. But all in all: regarding the fact that the "yellow" tanichthys on the stock lists have never been delivered to Emma or to Germany is not a good answer to the question if t. thacbaensis or not. the fact that two pics are to be seen of the "new" species, once as t. ...

Hi Borneo24
what is the exact location? did you find the two species together? what size do they have?
@ Jim: no g. punculatus in the Indonesian part. I'll send you the e-mailadress

Hi Ani
remembers me of a pic by Heiko Bleher of a nemacheilus nilgiriensis of the Kaluarili river. but: lacks the red in the dorsal fin. could send you a pdf.
cheers Charles

my try is going on by now, Emma. If you look at the lists it's not a shame to order to many loaches and bettas. hope I didn't do the same "error".
cheers Charles

the description is in vietnamese. hoped to get it for the pics. no chance so far.
it' not on "my" list so far.
can't you get better pics, Emma? would be great.
