Loaches Online Forum

Hello all, here are some recent pics I took of my loaches. I tried to get them doing as much of their physicial activities as possible. But as you know, taking movement shots may not be as easy a task. I am posting these for now. I will have some better ones in a month or so called Action Shots part...

May I have this dance?

Thanks for the nice comment Ded1.

Absolutely, I will start another post called "Action Shots" with some action shots: fast movement, jumping, fighting ect. I am currently compiling some pictures using high (not really) speed photography. As you might have guess, taking some quality shots takes time and patience. Unfortunately, I don...

Keith, good to see you, great to hear from you. Thanks

The camera usually turns up the gain to prevent shake blur when light is not sufficient for its sensor. The increased gain will create that grainy picture (called noise). Keep in mind, wh...

I agree with Shari 100% Regarding the move back if you decide to and I did think a little about it when I did my first post. Hopefully there are not too many nice caves in the driftwoods, you may want to set a trap. A piece of removable home such as a bamboo, PVC pipe, deep dark bottle (wide mouth!)...

My vote is very well feed. I think that the rear part of the belly more around the ventral fins looks fat when gravid. From the look of the lines on the tan part of it's body, it looks like a fine specimen juvenile. Could be wrong.

WOW! beautifull and very healthy looking fish!!

Yea, they get lonely easily especally when they are that little. But a short vacation from the pecking chain might do some good. He might even lead a kuhli clan. I would vote you put the little guy in there but observe him carefully, If he is active and gains weight (size) all is well. If he act lis...
