Thanks chefkeith & LoachOrgy! :wink: I'd been travelling lately and last week I was in Chatuchak, Bangkok. Beside the JJ Mall there is a place where pets are sold openly. Meaning legal or not, one could find some interesting pets there. Guess what? I came back with a Clown Tetra and 4 kuhli loaches....

Happy to know Nancy. Next time, i'll think of some other formations. hehehe...

Amazing shots! That clown pyramid, the juxtaposition of the fish is perfect! On the bottom left, the odd loach (sinibotia robusta?) is facing out and the clown in, and on the right they are reversed. Did you train them to do that?? :lol: I need to take fish photo lessons with you! hi plaalye, i'm p...

These are fantastic photographs, aerden! 8) Would you be willing to let us permanently include 2 or 3 of these shots in our LOL loach photo galleries? (your name would be credited to them of course). Emma hi Emma, Why not? You could select as many as you wish. Hope to promote the beauty and the sen...

Glad you like them, Blue You could frame all of them if you wish.

WOW! :D I dont mean to flatter, but that is the best loach photography I have ever seen, seriously! The first selection of photos (especially the beaufortia) looked like they were part of a loach calandar. Now there's an idea! Thanks for your kind words Robert! :D I'll sure try to capture interesti...

Good luck with the last 2. :wink: When I transfer my loaches from a 2-footer to a new 4-footer tank recently, I follow those indonesian loach catchers method, which is putting hollow tubes into the tank and they seems to like the tight dark space inside. However, I don't use bamboo as they did, but ...

Thanks Jim, Thanks Chefkeith.
Ya, my favorite team poses for the line up before their match.

Hi all, I'm a newbie here. Few months ago, I started of with 4 clown loaches. Slowly I added more and more clowns plus other loaches I could find in the aquariums here in Penang, Malaysia. I would like to share some pix of them here. I'm going to add from time to time. So, hope you all like them. Fi...
