Interesting Mick! I see, I've bought the wrong schistura Mine was ugly and bitchy, yours are pretty und friendly

Different schistura - different behaviour

Hi Nancy, i keep my Schistura alone in the tank, only with other species of Schistura. I've noticed some differences of the aggression potential between different species, but it's unsure to say in advance. That is my experience with different loaches of this genus, but I've never kept the crimson l...

Hi Tanja, Hard to say without a shot from side. And often hard to say with a pic from side ;) Another hint were P. myersi . The below text is from: Kottelat & Lim: A review of the eel-loaches of the genus pangio (teleostei: cobitidae) from the Malay Peninsula with descriptions of six new species - R...

I again

A small Hint: If you are interested in P. doriae than take a closer look to the tanks with Black kuhliis (P. oblonga) inside. In many P. oblonga imports I've seen some P. doriae (not many, the "record" is 4). I know at least from two other aquarists who made the same experience.

Hello Adem,

if they are not aggressive to each other, I would do it. You can give some plastic tubes in the tank so they have some hiding places. The tubes you can use in the bigger tank too, of course.

Good luck and welcome! You are from Albania?

Hello Mike, I've found some interesting pangio between "standardpangios" All what you need are good eyes and the permit to catch the loaches with your own hands out of the tank....and of course some luck while catching. Normaly a dealer isn't happy if he had to catch one special pangio in a tank wit...

Hello Gerhard, I don't know if we read often here from you (I would be glad about that), but of course a "welcome here" to you from my side too. Schistura cf. geisleri will do this in the next days That's sounds great, I'm in good hope for my Nemacheilus ornatus pair, but the female isn't so fat as ...

Hi piggy,

thanks for your reply.

I've asked Jörg Bohlen, and he said that it could be C. biwae, but it could also be another undescribed Cobitis.

At the moment I name them Cobitis sp. or C. cf. biwae. I think Cobitis sp. is better

Bye,

Thomas

Hello Markus and welcome here, In the DATZ 02/07 is a pic of Yunnanilus cruciatus, in my eyes are Emmas loaches no Yunnanilus. The dorsalfin of the Y. cruciatus is more roundish, compared with Emmas fishes. If I look right, the dorsale of your loaches are "clean", Emmas have one row of little markin...

Hi Mick, I got ten of them, but at home I've found one more in the fishbag. I might buy a few more and share them into two groups in two different tanks. David, I would also say biwae is a hot hint in any case. Now we have to decide between cf. of spec. aff. :wink: Thanks for your search. I've found...

Thanks for your replies! Hi David, I dont believe that this is C. taenia, the nearly solid line over the blotches I have never seen at C. taenia pictures. At some fishes merge the blotches nearly to a thicker line. You can see what I mean here: http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/Cobitis_sp_3.jpg Many...

Hi Emma,

the smallest are 4cm (1,5 inch), the biggest 6 (2,3 inch).

today I've seen my first Cobitis loaches in real live. I know them only from pictures, till this evening :) I dont know wich species is it, i could imagine that they were from japan or china. They weren't on the bill from the wholesaler, so I've no hints what species this could be. But I think china...

Hi, The typical characteristic of the genus Lepidocephalichthys are thickened last pectoral rays of the male. This I have seen yesterday at two of my loaches (and two others haven't this - so I have at least two pairs) The fishes no. 5 and 6 don't show me their pectoral fins so I can't say what they...

want to show you my new Barbatula. Yesterday I bought 7 of this beauties. At the Moment they are in quarantine, but in two weeks I put them to my other Stoneloaches in my "european rivertank" :) http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/barba9.jpg http://greygo.net/Aqua-Bilder/lol/barba10.jpg http://greygo....
