So, here are two a little bit better pics. The markings of the pangio are better to see.

Hi, today I've found one P. shelfordi between some semicincta. Unfortunalty really only one, but better than none. :) Here the first Pics. http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/P_shelfordi1.jpg http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/P_shelfordi2.jpg http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/P_shelfordi3.jpg I'm happy :D :D Bye ...

Very nice Graeme! My search for S. pulliensis (http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=11223) was unfortunately unsuccessful.

Hi Mick,

I would say yes, they are guntea. And I think it's a female.

Great Photos!

where are the differences between Schistura mahnerti and Nemacheilus (Schistura) subfusca. I've bought a few years ago some Schistura subfusca (fishbase.org says that this is a synonym of Nemacheilus subfusca) but I was never really sure what I have.

Hi,

I agree, my have at the moment 5°C. No problems noticed. In germany I've never seen the golden, only always the wild.

Maybeschistura shermani

They are very nice! One or two weeks ago I've seen some of them: The smallest were 15-20mm. Very very small. I've never seen so little Acanthocobitis in a shop (and nowhere else)

Did it always carry the light body colouration? Hi Graeme, i would say yes if I remember correctly. The caudal was not really convex, more a line. But not concave, and I've never seen a Schistura without a concave caudalfin. I'm unsure wether it was a Schistura...But I have naturally not seen every...

Oh, Thanks for explanation

I've found Gerhards Mail. At this time (Nov. 2002) he wrote me, that we had to name the loaches as S. sp.aff. balteata. But I would say it is both all right. And we have the free choice at the moment. Leave it quietly at sp.aff. paucifasciata.

here is a pic of a loach which I have never seen before. I bought it last years summer It is not really important, because it died after a week in my tank. In the shop it always lay around, also when it get some hit from one of the small garra's in the tank. Maybe someone know something about that f...

Hi dark,

but perhaps see what Gerghard comes back with.

Is he on tour at the moment?

So, I've translated it so good as I can. I've mailed it to you. I don't know concerning the copyright and don't post it here. But you can allocate it to others :D I've contacted Gerhard 2002 about this loaches, I will search for his answer. The Mail is on another PC. I'm curious about the new pics :...
