Thank you, I’ll drop my temp slightly and get some more food to them

Yeah I know, got frozen 2 types of mosquito larvae, tubifex and bloodworm. So hopefully they’ll fatten up

They have barbels if that’s anything to go by

Hi all
Rescued the last 2 of these, just need to know the Latin name so I can research them. Tried picture search on this site, but nothing like it really

Appreciate the help and I can ...

I have a heavily planted tank with lots of wood, oak leaves and smooth sand substrate. They’re incredibly happy. Wish I knew how to post a picture

Oh and I have now increased the temperature to suit Pangio species

Well here’s an update, I rehome all fish except the Badis and have fallen for Pangios. I have various species and they seem very content. They include a Dorae, oblonga, semicincta and anguillaris. Might have to get another tank so I can really go to town on a pangio only tank

Thank you Diana

I do not know if there are any Loaches small enough to work in that set up, and large enough to eat snails.
Most Loaches are social fish and should be kept in groups.

How about keeping Loaches in another tank and baiting to catch the snails. Then toss the snails into the Loach tank.
