Looking for a VERY special home

Unfortunately due to my 'aggressive loach tank' deciding to collapse on me literally, a very difficult decision has been made and I have some very special fish looking for a home who managed to survive. The tank is unable to be repaired and their little 4ft is getting on everyone’s nerves-they really need more space.

1 Yasuhikotakia morleti
1 Syncrossus helodes
2 Schistura sp (very very aggressive)
4 Yasuhikotakia modesta
1 Syncrossus beauforti

Anyone who has a good knowledge of these species and are able to give these delightful guys a home please let me know :(

Hi Graeme,

You wouldn't by any chance be going to Emma's at any stage? - going to take a trip there after the 17th when exams are over or on the other hand, I wouldn't mind driving them somewere that would be suitable to you???

Hi Ashleigh.

I'm not driving down to Emma's until around April/May time. But I'm driving to Wigan (Pier Aquatics) at the end of this month. I'm swapping some fish with Mick and Andy. We could meet up? I think Mick or Andy might take some off your hands also. :D

Do you know which Schistura species they are?

Graeme.

Hi Graeme,

Wigan sounds good :D If you let me know what date Il work out something and bring them with me. No idea what Schistura sp they are (I had a post months back and no one could id them for sure), but they are very aggressive. Il post up some pic's in a second.

These guys are about 2.5-3 yrs old (well thats as long as I have had them) and about 3inches at the most.

As 'babys' when I first got them

PS: I'll take all the loaches apart from the Y Modesta's. I already have too many of them.

Aw, Ashleigh, sorry to hear you didn't find a solution to the collapsed Grrrr tank. :cry: However, if Graeme takes most of your loaches, you can rest assured they'll be going to a great home. 8)

Yea it just seemed fairer for them to go to a larger tank. I was kinda hopeing Graeme would come along, but we are all sorted :D
