You guys are simply...........OUT OF CONTROL!!!!! You are like an Acela Express train chugging along at 200 miles/hr with no signs of stopping at any station....even to refill on fuel.

Wow..simply wow.

Hi Nancy, Yeah I picked up 8 of the B. dario, very colorful little guys. No, B. geto was the same as B. dario. Typically B. rostrata is labeled as B. geto but sometimes they call B. dario, B. geto as well. I know, very confusing. I looked at their B. histrionica but they were just too small. My B. u...

PS - to new england loachers, I think Ned also got in B. rostrata as well, I am not sure, I will take a look tomorrow.

Mike

Ahhh thats too bad, Jim. He has definetly increased his loach selection in the past couple of years due to their increased popularity.

Ah well, I guess you will have to find a baby Uncle Ned's in TN.

Mike

Uncle Ned's in Millis, MA has some B. dario, B. histrionica, Y. sidthimunki, S. lineolata, and Schistura sp. "crimson"..just to let you know.....I am heading down tomorrow to pick up some B. dario and histrionica...havent had them in years.

Head on over if you guys are interested.
