Loaches Online Forum

When I worked in import, it was really common for juvenile Y. lecontei to come in mixed with skunks so they must hang together

I wonder if Jeff could enable the Right click lock that we see in other sites, like PlanetCatfish...etc. :?: LOL. Most people can get around that.

I just opened a couple of pics on planetcatfish and was able to right click/download them. Maybe Julian gave up on it since it's so easy to get around.

There are programs that do this. You can embed all sorts of information in a picture file but I don't think there is a simple way to access the info unless you have the right program.

I'm with Mark on this one. If your watermark wrecks the picture, why bother posting it? If you put you name somewhere on the pic that doesn't wreck it, it's easy to crop or edit it out so why bother?

Mark found this one of mine a couple of years ago. As usual, I would have happily let them use it if they had asked but since they didn't, I told them to take it down. I never got a reply but at least they added my name.

Where did these come from?
A store in Toronto?

If I can get some details, maybe I can get some info from my contacts in the import/export biz.

This is the original breeder of the Chinese version. When I left Dolphin, most of what was being produced was being sold directly to Tunghoi's customers. I'm guessing that their customer's market is saturated or maybe someone else is producing them now. Keep a close eye out for albinos! http://www.t...

I assume these are Chinese and not Japanese.

I never could get a good reason from the farm that produces these but they don't want to sell small ones, which is a shame. The color is much more intense when they are about 2"

When I used to have tanks, I always kept some of those cheesy blue incandescent bulbs around for the night dwellers. It was cool to be able to see fish like raphael catfish swim about in the open.

The freshwater blennies look cool but they usually don't live very long unless you only have one in a tank by itself. Must be a territorial stress thing

Here are some old pics of the weird colored ones that all died within 1 week. If I remember correctly, there were 30 or so like this that came out of 1 bag from Thailand. Could be stress, disease, over medication or........... http://www.finishflagfarms.com/other/weird1.jpg http://www.finishflagfarm...

It's hard to tell from your photos but they may just be stressed or sick. I've seen kuhli types like this before with all sorts of weird colors and patterns and they usually die within a week.

The fish in the middle pic could be an albino. Does it have red eyes?

If it wasn't for the loachy mouth, I'd say they may not even be a loach

I finally got one of the pics to load up and I've never seen those rosy loaches before.

The panda kuhli does look similar to the fish in the pic I posted
