Loaches Online Forum

I agree with ashleigh, that certainly looks like panda kuhli loaches.

Wow they are stunning!!!

Can regional variations lead to different shaped fins and bodies then? It's just i can't find any correlation with this tail with my loach. Not as "tall" (lol, don't know the right way to say that) just before the caudal fin, no sign of even a feint spot, caudal fins just the same colour and imo jus...

Brilliant pics Emma! I happened to walk past some daphnia gel today so i thought i'de try it. I'm not quite sure what to say.

Certainly makes a lot more sense, although common sense should always be applied (especially at either size extreme). Working stocking out by volume is not reliable. Some...

I don't think they have teeth so they can't really bite!

My one will do exactly what you say, she will even let me pick her up out of water (Easier than a net).

Wow! Everything looks just so... perfect in there!

Those sewellia are just so cute!

David

And wow those crypts have grown!!!

Sweet!

They look like pangio shelfordii or alternans?
