Re: Hello from an old time LOL member

Me not, I was in the group (and some other loach related groups) but I've deleted my account. Loach fanatic was mostly good, others aren't.

So I've started to use my hobby more offline. :)

Re: Hello from an old time LOL member

Hello Michael,

I joined in 2008 but remembering your name well. Was also some years absent here and it seems the old crew is long gone.

Re: Pangio Anguillaris size

Yes, they get plumper but it last somes years... and not like an old P. myersi.

This female is round about 15 years old, it measures 11 cm and in the middle the body is 8 mm high.

European weather loach Misgurnus fossilis

Hi, a few weeks ago I've purchased 5 M. fossilis from a pond fish breeder here in Germany.

Re: Cobitis loaches

I would recommend to keep them in a group of at least 6-8 individuals. The more the better. The males are often behind the females and try to swim direct next to the female (pairswimming). But they aren't so social as clown loaches. The temp is round about 20°C sometimes a few degrees lesser or more...

Re: Cobitis loaches

Yes, you are right...not so much info... And yes, I still keeping them. The oldest offspring are 7 years old, but I have also a (WC) group (more than 10) for 11 years now. I keep them in an unheated tank with Rocks, gravel and sand. A lot of Java fern. This was the tank when they spawned the first t...

Re: Can you help me ID my loach?

Hi,

For me it looks more like a doriae than an anguillaris. It is to less mottled for an anguillaris. And it has the doriae typical dark snout.
