Re: Some help sort for hillstream loach identification pleas

Hi Jim,

I have compared with mine, that I thought it could be zebrinus. Am I wrong?

Re: Can gold and pangio kuhli interbreed ?

Hi Karen,

You can take a look at the caudal fin, at Misgurnus it is outside rounded. You can see what I mean on this pic.

Pangio have always a bit concave caudal fins, at least (as I know) never convex.

Re: Can gold and pangio kuhli interbreed ?

sometimes the golden form of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus called "golden kuhli loach". If so, they don't interbreed.
Are you sure your "golden Pangio" are really member of the genus Pangio? A pic would be nice :)

Re: Tank bred weather loach

You can try to feed them with artemia nauplii. I've raised some Cobitis fry last year with it.

Re: Loaches from China

Hi,

Chinensis is neither a valid species nor a synonym in the genus Cobitis. The main thing is they are very nice!

The second one has two dorsal fins, so it isn't a loach. It's a goby, but I've no idea about the genus.

Cheers,

Re: ID for "weather loach"

Hi,

The skinny loach seems to be a Misgurnus, too.

The third loach is a nice patterned Lepidocephalichthys guntea

Re: Cobitis sp.

I've forgotten two short videos. The first is from may, 28th (four days after I've find the fry). The larvas have a fin seam as you can see in the first pics.
