I've been reading these forums and lol for such a long time I figured it was time to register. I also thought that as I will be needing to ask some questions in the near future, it would be rude not to introduce myself first

I often refer to LOL over on another forum that I frequent (PFK) under the same username, as I consider the information here first class. I've also got the book that I've managed to read twice over now, excellent reading

So here's some photos of the two species that I currently keep in a 34 US gallon tank. I have 6 B. striata, 9 Y. sidthimunki (3 recent additions), 6 Otocinclus sp., 7 Glowlights, 2 Black Neon Tetra & numerous cherry shrimp. The tank is overstocked at this point but there is a new larger tank in the pipeline to house the B. striata. The filtration is working tremendously though and nitrates have only ever peaked at 5ppm. I water change 25% twice weekly.
I've added photos, most of which show some of the loaches resting in a much favoured area of the tank

My photography skills won't win any prizes, but it's the best I have to offer
