Loaches Online Forum

I still have a couple of youngsters but lost most of my adults sometime ago, A few weeks ago a local shop got some in and I couldnt belive the size of them when I saw them, I have never seen cheni the size of these before, needless to say someone had already reserved them all. How are the Rasbora's ...

Once again excellent photos

I really like the look of the Schistura semiarmatus

Looks like an excellent collecting trip Deepak, lovely pic of the Schistura nagodiensis




(Obviously non staff have to have more than one word in their reply or their post is removed )

It would be great to see some pics of their development

I have to admit I did see some in a shop a couple of months back and my first reaction was rostrata.

Thanks guys, they are a loach I havent had before but I am really glad I have them now

They are both just over 5", I already have 4 nice fat females so thought I would pick up a couple of nice males and see what happens

Very nice, they are a stunning fish when adults, I have 7 adults now upto 6" and the colours and markings are wonderful, I have a feeling you will be very happy with them

Nice looking fish Martin

Lovely looking specimens Charles, how big are yours

Yeah that's why I only got the four, looking at the group in the shop tank there were plump and slim fish so hopefully males and females so I got what I hope to be two pairs so if the worst happens I can separate the pairs to different tanks.

I will try and shoot some video at feeding time when they all go wild

Cheers Andy, Callum wanted something different for the tank in his bedroom so I got these and he thinks they are amazing because they are so active and when they were doing tug of war with bloodworm he thought it was hilarious

Yeah a little bit of a spree but that will be it now until all my tanks are sorted around September time, who knows I may be able to fit another spree in towards the end of the year if I am lucky

I picked up 8 of these stunning Y. nigrolineata yesterday, they are probably the best nirolineata I have ever seen and I had intended to only pick up 4 but after bagging 6 I spotted another two that I wanted so ended up with the 8 :D Fish 1 http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/MadDuff/Loaches/Yasuhi...

I picked up 6 of these Schisturas labelled as Schistura sp "super convict", like with the serpenticobitis the photos really dont do them justice. They are a stunning looking fish and really chunky. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y60/MadDuff/Loaches/Schistura%20Sp%20super%20convict/DSC_2155.jpg htt...
