This is one of my zebra loaches at a very rare 'posing' moment. I grabbed the camera so fast I surprised even myself at the speeds I was capable of!!

One of my more recent additions and one of a group of 3, bought as polka dot loaches. The group will be made up to 6 just as soon as funds allow, unfortunately this wasn't possible all in one go..Less obliging than the zebra loach, this one just would not turn around and stubbornly kept his/her back turned on me! I have studied the articles about how their markiings change as they grow up and in comparison to others but I am no expert, is this one a polka dot loach?

Here he/she is again, but this time with a nosey zebra loach poking his/her nose out from under the wood...

This one is of my alpha clown loach. He/she was sitting in front of their favourite tubes this afternoon just daring me to fetch the camera...I did and he obligingly stayed there and posed for me watching me intently as I clicked away with the camera. In the background are some of the other clowns, with no intentions of coming too close but still inquisitive enough to peep from afar!

And another one where you can see the others a lot better , but also the scratches on my tank

This is really one of the first times in over a year of having them that I have had an opportunity to take some decent photos, owing largely to my lack of photography skills but also because they are just so very active and never sit still..Needless to say, as a reward for all his/her effort, they all received bloodworm for dinner tonight and have retired to their tubes, barely fitting their rounded full bellies in, and are fast asleep...
If any of my other babies oblige and sit still for their mother in the next few weeks, I will take some more photos until you have been introduced to all of them - so be warned
