Amazing shots! That clown pyramid, the juxtaposition of the fish is perfect! On the bottom left, the odd loach (sinibotia robusta?) is facing out and the clown in, and on the right they are reversed. Did you train them to do that??

I need to take fish photo lessons with you!

I dont mean to flatter, but that is the best loach photography I have ever seen, seriously!

The first selection of photos (especially the beaufortia) looked like they were part of a loach calandar. Now there's an idea!

Thanks for your kind words Robert!

I'll sure try to capture interesting poses from my loaches whenever they learnt new tricks.
hmmm.... Loach calendar!

Glad you like them, Blue

You could frame all of them if you wish.

hi Emma, Why not? You could select as many as you wish. Hope to promote the beauty and the sense of humor of the interesting loaches to everyone.

hi plaalye, i'm putting my syllabus together, once ready, I'll send out the timetable. nah... just kidding.

I believe the odd one is a Tiger (Syncrossus Helodes) if i'm not wrong.
In fact I waited for a about 15-20mins before all of them synchronize. Sometimes, some holes are empty. Guess it's luck and I managed to capture the right moment.

Tips: move one end of the PVCs close to the glass, that would allow a one-way entry. But, the big ones down at the bottom row could push themselves in from the glass side. (magic trick!)

Thank you so much, Aerden!

You're fish are all in superb condition and you have a real talent for aquarium photography. Looking forward to seeing lots more pics from you (hint hint

Thanks chefkeith & LoachOrgy!

I'd been travelling lately and last week I was in Chatuchak, Bangkok. Beside the JJ Mall there is a place where pets are sold openly. Meaning legal or not, one could find some interesting pets there. Guess what? I came back with a Clown Tetra and 4 kuhli loaches.

Then 2 days ago, I went to a shop here in Ipoh and got myself 2 sturgeons. I think I better stop getting any new fishes else i'll be overloading my tank.

The last 2 days I took some pics of my fishes again. Just to share some here... hope you all enjoy looking at them.

1) The Kiss

2) Twin Head or Siamese Twins

3) Sharing is Caring (pardon my Humpty Dumpty Yoyo behind for getting into the picture while the other 2 sharing a gingko)

4) Going Vegetarian

5) How's my new nose job?

Aerden, you have done it again. I am blown away with that photography. Absolutely fantastic!

Incredible shots once again Aerden! I've been to ChatuChak many times, always interesting!

Great photos. What kind of sturgeon is that? Does that species stay small?
