Post by Graeme Robson » Sun Mar 09, 2008 9:03 am

Thanks.

Cheers mate! You picked out the beauty's! :wink:

They seem to be placid at the moment. I've got them in with other Yasuhikotakia species and the others just seem to ignore them. vice-versa.

What are the other two fish in the pictures? :)

Looks like a Garra, but I wouldn't know. Thanks, Tanja.

Thank-yous! :D

These chaps certainly like to dig around the substrate in search for foods, much more than other similar loach species.
