Schistura spilota

I found some nice Schistura spilota last week. I have to say that these loaches are Big! Very impressive when you watch them going by their business and that the others are dwarfed by them. I picked out some smaller specimens to bring home to hopefully watch them grow, now i'm pondering on the larger specimens.

Nevermind, Here's one of them.

Nice Graeme! So exactly how big is that? I see from the thread about these on petfrd.com that they are REALLY voracious fish.

Thanks. I would say that mine are at least 3 inches and slightly under-weight compared to the 4+ inch monsters in the lfs. After a couple of rounds of Bloodworm's, then all should be fine. I wouldn't say they have a temperament that is "voracious" but an "appetite" that certainly is!
