Great news Jim, wish you luck!

Two pics from today, the chaps are about 20-22mm. They are very active and thus difficult to measure...

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. The larvas have a fin seam as you can see in the first pics. The pectoral fins are vertical. This makes the larvas looks a bit like bullhead ...

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...

Hi Tanja, from the top it looks like more a Lepidocephalichthys or Kottelatlimia than a horceface to me. The caudale looks a bit forked, isn't it? If it so, we could limit the possibilities. Only a few loaches of this genera (L. and K.) have forked tailfins. I think Kottelatlimia has never forked ta...

Hi, I don't use very strong pumps, only Aquaballs because the filterhead is good to close out of the box. No "tricky" workings with gauze and tube pieces to secure the filter outlet. I've lost a few pangio who wants to visit the filter through the outlet. With the "EHEIM loach safe filter" no more a...

Hi Martin,

Glad to hear it is only a mistake and not a revision that I've missed...

please can you do the same in the alphabetical species index? In the descriptions self is it right. Sorry Dave for the Offtopic.

Yes, but the right genus is "Misgurnus" and not "Misgurnis" as in the link. I would say it is a nice spotted male of M. anguillicaudatus.

maybe it's an idea to buried the food (tab food) in the sand, so the loaches can chewing it out.?
