Hi Erik

yes, I would say it's a Acanthocobitis. About the exact species I can't say anything. But with the genus you are right.

Hi Emma, thanks for the info! The pic a very small, but it looks a little bit similar to your Pangio cf. anguillaris . http://www.loaches.com/species-index/pangio-cf-anguillaris Yesterday I got two of that P. cf anguillaris and one P. anguillaris. :) The "cf" are very shy, much more than the one ang...

My were (they both died last year, I had only two female) about 4 inch and yes, they are very slim such as the P. anguillaris.

Hi Tanja,

I've found my doriae in a oblonga tank too. And heard the same from others. Before two weeks I saw three doriae between new oblonga.

If someone wants to have Pangio doriae, take a look to the P. oblonga tanks.

Hi,

I would say this is Pangio doriae. Compare it with my Pic of P. doriae. Has it nasal-barbels?

Bye, Thomas

It is 1.5 Inch (4cm) and I have it since three or four years. I'm not sure... fishbase.org says that this species will grow only 0,9 Inch (2,4cm) standardlength. This is a little bit short. SL of my savona is 1,4 Inch (3,5cm) Here is a pic of my savona http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=11272

Hi, yes, this is S. savona. They are friendlier than other Schistura, but they can nerve other fishes (danios) too. At this time I have only one of them. Together with a pair of Nemacheilus ornatus, one Aborichthys sp. and 4 Homaloptera smithii. Thats works fine. A nice and small loach! Bye Thomas

I can't say what Pangio you have, but I have a very similar. Here is a pic of it. http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/Pangio_sp1.jpg It could be a Pangio superba, but I'm very unsure about that. Maybe it's only a color variation. Or Emmy is right with Pangio alcoides, but I think that the transition b...

Have patience, if it grows it's an oblonga

yes, but Pangio pangia remains smaller than P. oblonga. The loach in the picture looks (for my eyes) too big for P. pangia. How big is it? P. pangia 2,5 inch, P. oblonga 3,15 inch (from fishbase.org) Maybe I'm wrong but this could be a really P. pangia (it is 1,2 inch) http://sandkauer.de/Bilder/P_c...

looks like Pangio oblonga.

Hi,

Thats intersting! It seems that the loach I ask for identification here http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=11272 from the genera Oreonectes is. The head looks very similar.

Bye

Your Lepido. looks very very good, mick!

I have measured and it is smaller than I thought, it's only 35 mm (1,4 inch), but the height was right.

I'm not sure, I think the length is 40-45mm (1,5-1,7 inch), the height is 3-4mm (0,12-0,16 inch) But I hope it will grow soon and fast
