Does your sister live in Spain? No, it's not my sister, it's my girlfriends sister. :) She is married with a spanish, and they often spend their holidays in spain. But they live in germany. The Rio Tormes is up by Salamanca right? Yes, here is a pic from the shallow water. I have marked the Cobitis...

Hi Matt, I have here a picture of an adult C. paludica. It's from spain too, and were caught last year in the river tormes. The sister of my girlfriend caught it and take a photo for me. As yours, this one is also released back in the river. http://sandkauer.de/Bilder/C_paludica3.jpg They aren't aqu...

I would say Pangio doriae.

See this thread: http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=13233&

Yours looks more like the golden "variant" of P. doriae

Thomas

The last Crossovid. Of course with the bull's eye look, as ever. The loach is searching for food and very active.

In a garden center with pondfishes I have seen a label "Misgurnus fossilis" but in the tank were only one (nearly dead) Misgurnus. In this bad condition I couldn't say if it really a fossilis, I couldn't see the typical stripes. And it's more than ten years ago. But it is possible to buy them at pon...

Hi Thomas , great vids ! Did you keep Misgurnus Fossilis ? Thanks Andy, no I have "only" the anguillicaudatus. In germany it is possible to get the fossilis, but I don't want to mix the two species and I haven't the place for another tank. But I hope to keep the fossilis in the wider future. They a...

Hi, I have made two short videos of the new Crossostoma. The first one shows mainly one of the smaller loaches eating brine shrimp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZERyw45e5Q In the second the two bigger Crossos sitting under a piece of wood. Ok, not very spectacular. But in the End the guy in the b...

No, sorry. I can only say that this is not a balitora.
Wait for the Sewelliafreaks

Sewellia sp.

Take a look at the fins, your loaches have markings in their fins, the tuberoschistura in your link has clear fins.

Hi Pedro,

I would say it looks like a Lepidocephalichthys sp.

Thomas

Hi Graeme.

have you a name for the Cobitis?

My absolute favorites are the loaches of the group of the subfamily Cobitinae e.g. Cobitis, Lepidocephalichthys, Pangio.

I like the slender body shape, and how they chewing the sand to find some food. At the genera Cobitis and Lepidocephalichthys I love the markings and patterns.
