Need Help Identifying Loach - Pangio sp.

Post by Bonhilda » Sun Jul 05, 2015 11:41 pm

I have two of these and they were sold to me as Pangio kuhlii. They are both very thin. I have only ever seen stripey ones and black / brown Kuhlis, and the behaviour of these two loaches is different from my stripey Kuhlis. It took me 20 mins of shooting to get these photos because they wouldn't stay still at all. Are they albino P. kuhlii? Why are they both acting crazy? I wonder if they are a different species that requiring a lower temperature or something? The only ones I could find that look similar are Pangio pangia, Pangio elongata, and Pangio oblonga. Can anyone tell me if they are one of these, or something else altogether?

I don't know why the images aren't working. Here's the link to them: http://s12.photobucket.com/user/bonhilda/library/
