Loaches Online Forum

Hmmm...I don't remember if mine were ever that small. An inch probably but I bought 10 from a friend before and they were the smallest I had seen in the flesh. *Looks for his measuring tape*

Wow! That's impressive! I want them as my calendar and picture frame.

Aww..

Perhaps convince them, Mike?

Yoyos are really fast growers. If memory serves me right, it took only about 3-4 months to grow mine from 1.5 inch to 4 inches. Largest right now is 5 inches or at least close to 6. The problem with mixing them with cories is they may outstrip the cories' competition for food. These are very boister...

Can't risk both together, Linds. A lot of botiine loaches relish invertebrates.

But 6 inches?:shock: Emma, could ya revise the species profile?:lol:

Never tried Frank's but I've yet to hear negative experiences. None so far and I believe Stan Sung, according to TFH, also ordered from Frank's for rare loaches as Frank's was included in his acknowledgement for those who helped him for his loach article.

Mick, are you telling me that Botia kubotai is 6 inches?:shock: Gulp.. Been bitten by 5-inch tiger loaches and those were hard bites.

Any pics of the skinny loach? Is the skull clearly obvious? Your situation is similar to this one.
