Loaches Online Forum

They're still in the shop Blue. They let me come in and take a few quick pics to identify what the fish actually were before I bought them. Where are you? If you're nearby PM me, we'll see what we can work out, if they're still there. I'm going back to the shop today. Hi Plaalye, Unfortunately, I'm...

I'll have to resist my impulse and wait till I have a suitable tank for the Robusta. :cry: What are you going to do with it? My friend is looking forward to getting some of those Sinibotia . I'll be getting the lot when they become available.;) Thank goodness. Graeme's Grrr tank convinced me I must...

I saw that pic in your first post and I also thought it is a Sinibotia pulchra.

Happy Birthday, Tammy.

I can't see the profile of your other loach well enough but by the looks of it, it could indeed be a Sinibotia pulchra. Second pic clearly shows a Sinibotia robusta.

Nice fish, Jim!

Wow!:shock:

Thanks, Graeme.

Graeme, do you see any issues mixing the Garra flavatra with those aggressive loaches? I had to ask.

You had me confused before. Beautiful fish. I just hope they can sooner or later spawn. The Sewellia lineolata is already an achievement, Emma.

Nice fish!

Oh, thanks for the correction, Emma. I just thought what I saw is the actual A. normani. I'm always impressed to see lots of unique loaches coming in as contaminants.

Emma, I thought you said your unknown loach is Annamia normani?

Nice fish!

They're so pretty!:D

I've since found out from research that cichlids and loaches do not normally make good tankmates (no matter what the pet stores say) but mine get along fine. Welcome to LOL. Jamie, what size are these cichlids and what species are they? Just because the get along fine doesn't mean you can get away ...

You'll be better off with the Botia striata, Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki or Botia kubotai.
