yup i could only see these three that didnt look like any other clown so i had the guy catch specific ones for me and he done it so well didnt waste no time straight in and had all 3 bagged within 3 mins and didnt chase at all, the guy is fantastic when it comes to loaches.

Hi rave,

Does the one without the middle stripe have a funny head shape, or are my eyes playing tricks? Does it look like this one? http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=12801

It's good that he/she has a nice home. 8) Here's another old thread of mine that shows a Yoyo loach (Botia almorhae) with the same strange head shape: http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=13200

the way i see it is i wouldnt kill and dispose of a deformed kid so i wont be doin it with my loaches thats for sure, infact i picked these 3 as they all have something unusual about them once they get in my 450litre loach tank they will be fantastic i think
