Would you consider them aggressive at all?

the fish could seduce me as sids did.

Oh my. I think I'll show this to the next person who tells me loaches are boring and drab! (Along with a clip round the lugs!)

got 4 of them in a large q-tank. Guess I am in love now :lol: hope they settle well, they are still pretty nervious. Added 15 juvenile Yunnanilus cr. to them and baby Garras.
Bought them with 3 Schistura balteata (there are actually similarities in their apperance (somehow :roll: ) and as they were together in the same tank at the store - I took the entire crew).

I have never ever seen those in my life in any store and finally found them in the aquaristic-department of a hardware-store, same as my Y.caudipunctata a while ago. Weird somehow. Hope they are fine.

What worries me, is the fact, how fast I found so many excuses to fill the tank with fish ... and there seems no end, I did not have sewellia for a while ... algaea have picked up already, hmmm ... I "hope" they are already sold from that store I'm thinking of. My plans were rather towards downsizing ... really bad Traccatichthys!
