Loaches Online Forum

Ok Graeme, some few infos about these. Not much but better than nothing.

Distribution: Myanmar (more precise I can't say it)
Max size: 8cm, after 5,5 years in my tank.
all the rest is typical Schistura

A few pics will follow, tell me if you need something special

if you want you can use it for a new sp. aff. balteata or sp. aff. paucifasciata section.

This loaches have much friends in germany, and in german forum users sometimes ask about breeding sids. Next time I will link your Thread

we have a lot of winners, like Thomas, he joined the right forum “Gut gemacht Thomas”

Danke Wolfram

Funny Video Wolfram! One of my Pseudogastromyzon has done this too But I've seen this only one time. Thanks for this!

Thanks for all your replies! The wholesaler is located in Cologne. The days I will visit some Cologne pet shops. I'm sure that I find the Loaches in one of the shops and can see them before buying. I will report later.

of course you can use it, but are you sure that this is S. paucifasciata ? I thought always that S. paucifasciata has a black caudal stripe. The fishes of mine hadn't this. In a german magazine they were called S. sp. aff. balteata . I would say this is not the really paucifasciata but of course ver...

Is here anybody who knows something about Sinogastromyzon puliensis ? A german wholesaler has this guys new in his stock and i'm interested in. But before I go to order a group, I have some questions. I think they are comparable with S. wui . I have read, that the wui is a not so easy hillstream, bu...

this loaches i've seen two times at a dealer, but everytime in a bad state. So i don't buy any. But they are very nice! Here's ist one of my first S sp. aff. balteata. I've bought them 2002 and today I've only one of them. I'm sure that i saw them here in the species index but now i can't find them ...

Thanks Graeme, Within the Balteata loach group yes, i think so too. It's a pity that i can't get the pink on the pic. But we know: S. balteata is "pink" on the ground with dark belts/stripes. This loach has a dark ground color and pink belts/stripes. The exact opposite. Fascinating! I like this grou...

these schistura were sold in germany as S. balteata. But in germany will quite much sold as S. balteata ;) maybe someone can tell me the right name of these loach. The colors are not correct, the stripes are more pink than orange. I can say that they are not so aggressive than other Schistura, but t...

I've no idea but I'm waiting for your video

i can't find the right words at the moment. Maybe tomorrow? Really really great.

Thanks Graeme, 6 different species? thats Fantastic! :) But your leucistic friend...I think he looks a little bit ill... ;) strange :) No, i know of the picture, i was very often in the "Species-index" :). But not registered in the Forum. it's very nice and interesting to be here, in german forums a...

Hi, i have a short(17sec/4,5MB) movie about my H. smithi. You can watch how they catch artemia. If someone is interested and want to download it, please use the rightclick/save_target function. A leftclick on the link does not work properly, the browser tries to play the video with a plugin. But not...
