There like worms.

Thanks for the tip Directorate, but as I said, me using that name has nothing to do with the movie.

Back on topic.
I would still like to know if 8 B. histrionica combine well with 5 C. siamensis in my tank of 110cm x 45cm(depth) x 58cm(hight), 230 liters/60 gallons.
Does anyone know?

I know ...

Hey Dutch, Alien Vs Predator Requiem comes out today, tommorow if your a yank.

Just thought you'd like to know, seeing as your called Dutch. The name of the guy who wasted the 1st Predator.

AVP2: In a cinema near J00!

oh and so only Kubotais have bluish dots?

Yes both Loaches are good-but are they different in temperament and are'nt Kubotais generally more expensive than Rostratas? :/

I think Kubotais also have a bolder and more distinct pattern when mature

Can someone give some guidelines about this distinguishing please. I don't really want to end up with Rostratas when I ask for Kubotais :/

you guys sure do love your loaches

Hi again. At the moment I have 3 Kubotais and 1 yoyo, in a 130 gallon tank with I think-fairly good filtration (2Xpowerheads 1600L/hr max, and top filter with spray bar).

Would it be too many loaches to keep say: 5 Kubotais, 3 yoyos, 7 clowns and 7 other miscellaneous Loaches roughly the size of ...

I just re read the emporer thread and they really do deserve their regal name.

Directorate, as far as getting them into Australia, I doubt it. Not only does the species index mention mountain ranges and war zones, there is Australia's import restrictions. We are lucky that we have Kubotai's in a ...

wow now THAT is the kinda thing I was talkin' about? Like a 150 bucks a piece huh? Do you think its possible to order them in Australia, somehow..

Good gravy. Now that is a cool fish for a loach. The subtle bronze/gold color on it is pretty cool. (I just saw it in a photo). It also seems to have a unique head.

Along with Kubotais, they are surely amongst the most good lookin' loaches around.

I probably couldn't get them though, seeing as I ...

At the moment I feed my Kubotais frozen blood worms. I hear someone say they were "too rich" for these loaches. But I tried putting in cucumber in the tank, but they didn't touch it. Whats a good recommendation for feeding Kubotais? As well as clowns. Though more importantly Kubotais for now because ...

do loaches eat plants? ie amazon swords
