Loaches Online Forum

How cute! They're so pink and wormy!

Beauties!
Some people have no idea what fantastic creatures lie in their own backyards. I wish i could go out and catch darters. I keep some swamp darters and that's only cause they're common stow-aways in ghost shrimp shipments.
I bet they'll spawn for you! And if they do, I've got dibs on fry

Why thank you!
Are you a fan of the little naked forest spirits?

The way you sees him is the way I sees 'im. :D

I thought he looked more like L. berdmorei when looking through the species profiles the night I picked him up. They were calling him "red spotted loach" at the LFS but I know how little that may mean.
Haven't seen him eat with my own two peepers yet ...

Lepidocephalichthys sp. ?

It's skinny as hell. I didn't expect him to make it through the night but today he's been quite active ...

A simple enough case of mature loaches then.

Could the darker color of the substrate be causing the fish to darken in color as well?
