This is what I think is a Bhavania australis but a ...

Once again Beta thanks for the 8) pics !

I feel I may have actually kept a small group of M.herrei ? they came in with M.triangularis and were much more docile than Guentheri or Triangularis ! would that be the case ?

Also does M.pulchellus look similar to Meso's Guentheri and Herrei ?

Yours ...

Donna, Mad Duff and Irab - Thanks for the encouragement.

Piggy4 - The Meso's can be a little boisterous but not to Schistura denisoni levels.

Here are couple of other Meso's for you

Hi,
I'm sharing pics of my recently setup tank for loaches and friends. It does look dirty for a new tank :)

Glyptothorax sp.

Pseudolaguvia ...

Nice tanks.
Is that really java moss in your tank? Looks more like Cladophora algae..

Thanks guys
Any guesses on what it could be? I'm going to their collection locale in a couple of weeks from now.. Let me see if I can find more.

Collected from a small stream in Kallidaikurichi, a village on the banks of the river Tamaraparani in Southern India.
Difficult to photograph as it dives into the sand once the lights are on. I suspect this is a juvenile as it is only around 2 inches long.

Hi Mick,
Rahul wanted better pics once they settle down. He thinks its one from the Schistura denisoni complex for now.

Need help to ID this loach. This was collected from Nagalapuram, Chitoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India.
I think the caudal fin is unusually long for this loach.
