Loaches Online Forum

Those are really beautiful happy looking fish in a lovely tank. Looks like they are loach dancing. Thanks for sharing. Sorry I can't ID. Thanks! Yeah, they are loach dancing, They do it constantly, all day long, though usually only 3 or 2 do it at one time. ))) And the others I'm sure are taking a ...

If you are able, try to post bigger image files - these appeared very small on my monitor. I'm sure we will hear more on this as others give their opinions. The images are clickable, but if they're too small in full view - I'll post bigger ones. New pics: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i114/Krin...

Those may be P. semicincta . Identification can be tricky. Well, that's the problem ))) They are very alike. Probably it's much easier to id them correctly if you've already kept both sp. and know the difference. I compared my pictures with the p.semicincta pics on this site - the bands on my kuhli...

I bought my little guys as Pangio kuhli. and I had no doubts about it until today when I looked at other Pangio sp. pictures. ))) Are my Pangio kuhli really Pangio kuhli? :D http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i114/Krinang/loaches/2kuhlii.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i114/Krinang/loaches/kuhl...

I know they were im...

Hi Maire, Were these all bought at the same time, from the same batch? To me, it looks like you have B . histrionica and B. almorhae . :? See what everyone else thinks. Emma Hi Emma, Well, three of my loaches were bought together, then one more (on the second photo) came as a stowaway with an aquar...

A month ago I asked for help in identifying my loaches. Here - http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=12215 So, yesterday I made some new photos, they are not very good, but I hope they will do. #1 - The loach from my previous topic http://www.aqa.ru/images/linza.gif http://www.aqa.ru/photos/data...

Please forgive me my bad English, I had a Russian definition of the term, translted it ="suborbital". To be sure, I went to the LOL's Glossary of Terms - it clearly says "Suborbital".

Martin.

VERY enlightening video - just what I wanted.
Thanks.

[quote="mickthefish"] Good advice!))) My botias are so afraid of the net that it's impossible to catch them with it. I'm trying to get them comfortable with the net ... suppose the process will take a lot of time. Last week my new 180 l tank got a leak and I had to tranfer all the fish into my old o...

Thanks for your help ))
I tried the seach funtion before posting and found some theads but pictures in them were invalid.

Can someone show me the suborbital spines?
I know they exist, I heard the clicking sounds, I know they can be poisonous/allergic, and can get tangled in a net. But I've never seen them.
Are there some pictures or drawings of the spines?
Please, don't let me suffer from unsatisfied curiosity
