The tail does not looks like Misgurnus, it is not convex and counting the barbels is not so easy as I thought. But I'm nearly 90% sure that they have only 8 barbels and not 10 like Misgurnus. But I have to confirm this. The fishes are very shy and quickly move in the background. Here is the tail of ...
Hi, Yesterday I get some Lepidocephalichthys, they were sold as L. cf. berdmorei. Would you agree that this is a L. berdmorei and no cf.? http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/L_cf_berdmorei1.jpg http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/L_cf_berdmorei2.jpg Unfortunately, two died and one is not in good conditi...
No, I don't have photos. My Homaloptera catch only swimming pieces of the food and don't sit around it and eat like yours.
It's hard to take a photo of this behaviour. I'm to slow, much to slow.
Hi Emma, thanks for the info! The pic a very small, but it looks a little bit similar to your Pangio cf. anguillaris . http://www.loaches.com/species-index/pangio-cf-anguillaris Yesterday I got two of that P. cf anguillaris and one P. anguillaris. :) The "cf" are very shy, much more than the one ang...
It is 1.5 Inch (4cm) and I have it since three or four years. I'm not sure... fishbase.org says that this species will grow only 0,9 Inch (2,4cm) standardlength. This is a little bit short. SL of my savona is 1,4 Inch (3,5cm) Here is a pic of my savona http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=11272
Hi, yes, this is S. savona. They are friendlier than other Schistura, but they can nerve other fishes (danios) too. At this time I have only one of them. Together with a pair of Nemacheilus ornatus, one Aborichthys sp. and 4 Homaloptera smithii. Thats works fine. A nice and small loach! Bye Thomas
I can't say what Pangio you have, but I have a very similar. Here is a pic of it. http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/Pangio_sp1.jpg It could be a Pangio superba, but I'm very unsure about that. Maybe it's only a color variation. Or Emmy is right with Pangio alcoides, but I think that the transition b...
