Loaches Online Forum

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

That's very cool news!

Are swords and guppies native to Indonesia?

No.

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.

Hi,

The skinny loach seems to be a Misgurnus, too.

The third loach is a nice patterned Lepidocephalichthys guntea

Hi Emma,

any chance to see a movie of them? while feeding?
Would be nice.

Hi, I dig out this thread for some news: The Cobitis seems to be an undescribed species from taiwan and they habe spawned a few weeks ago in my tank. On May, 24th I've spotted some 5-6mm larvas. I've catched 13 out of the tank to raise them. I've fed with artemia nauplii they grow quickly and after ...

yes, I have kept 4 of them in a tank together with Barbatula and Cobitis. They was very friendly to the other loaches. My were lesser aggressive than other hillstreams e.g. Pseudogastromyzon

Maybe Lefua costata?

I would agree

Hi,

looks like Nemacheilus pallidus

Very nice stuff, the Cobitis sp should be C. striata, which occurs in japan. http://tanzawa-sky-club.air-nifty.com/photos/uncategorized/2010/11/21/cobitis024.jpg any ideas about the right one? Looks very similar to my unknown Cobitis: http://sandkauer.de/Arten/Cobitis_sp1/Bilder/Cobitis_sp1_8.jpg ha...
