Thanks chupo, I wish I could keep a european Cobitis or Sabanejewia someday. I have "only" few kinds of Asian Cobitis. Ok, I'm very lucky with them, but european loaches would be even a bit better. :) I should try to get some C. taenia next spring. I know about at least one breeder of this loach in ...

Such as your C. bilineata and I could imagin that this is a good hint. I don't think that this is C. elongatoides , but you are right again, ...

Hi,
I was wondering if there are any major differences between Cobitis and Lepidocephalichthys species that can be used for ID.
the male of cobitis have the second ray of the pectoral fin thickened, at Lepidocephalichthys it is the last ray.
