Micronemacheilus cruciatus

Post by Clam411 » Sun Nov 01, 2015 1:57 pm

Hey Everyone,

I've been searching for this Laos Multi stripe loach for awhile and there is very little information about it. Anyone have any idea why they are so hard to find? Any info would be much appreciated!

I haven't seen any for a while, but loaches can be seasonal. Yunnanilus cruciatus or Vietnamese multi-striped loach are more usual names. Where do you live? In the US you could try Aquabid or Wet Spot Aquatics; or ask you local shop if they can get them

A month ago I was looking at 1 of them in a shop, and requested them to get a few more.

They did not contact me, so I think in the Netherlands, perhaps broader in Europe, they are now not available. Perhaps the season is ending?

Here "loach season" is just beginning I think, keep asking.
