That is an impressive collection and well thought out 8) . A tank designed around the occupants is the way to do it correctly and you have far surpassed that.
My Robusta stays out and up front never taking any duff from anyone but never aggressive either. It is my second favorite loach specie

Bloody hell, superb , is there much interaction between the two Syncrossus's Berd's and Hymen's ? or is it just sp/s to sp/s ? Sorry getting a bit muddled looking at these great pics , what i mean is do the Hymens's chase the Berd's or visa versa , or neither , or is it just one big happy chase ?

Thanks! :D

Yeah Andy, i would say between the two species the Syncrossus hymenophysa is more of the nippy one. Although the Syncrossus berdmorei can often nip back at the Syncrossus hymenophysa. They basically get along well with the S hymenophysa tipping the scales with aggression.
