It was very difficult parting with this awesome loach (+ friend), but I know Graeme will give them an excellent home along with his others. And talking of Graeme, you should have seen the size of the box of fish he took home today!!!

You should of seen me 'carrying' that box! I was like a weight-lifter on 'tip-toes' hope-ing not to shake the damm thing as i walked! lol
Any-hows. All fish have arrived in great condition, Emma.
Thank-you all.
Jim, I have the pleasure of keeping 4 of them at the moment. Two old guys and two new guys, with one new guy looking like the old guy with his size!!
Yeah! Martin! It's.....................................Banana-man time!
A big Box full of........
2 x Vaillantella maassi
3 x Spotted Sewellia
10 x Pangio doniae
10 x Pangio shelfordii
10 x Pangio anguillaris
1 x Mesonoemacheilus guentheri
3 x Aborichthys elongatus
4 x Homaloptera zollingeri

Aya Caramba! Good on yer mate! Now I know why the wad is no longer as loadsa as it was
Emma, Harold got the pink Eels in......but they were pink Eels! Not P. doriae, despite them carrying the same supplier code that your's were.
Actually, he got two species. One is weeny and very similar to small P. anguillaris or doriae, but definitely an eel, and the others are around 6" long or so and like mini Morays and quite pink. Both species bury themselves in the sand.
Harold found good latin names on them too.
Now supposedly, your common Singapore supplier is expanding and going to be importing Vietnamese fish, which could be rather interesting eh?

Wow!! That's quite an impressive list, Graeme!!

Thank you for your patience whilst we tried to locate all those Pangios, Graeme!!! Not the easiest of tasks!!! Think we did good in the end though.
Martin - that's a shame about the P. doriae. Sounds like the supplier might have stitched Harold up a bit there. Hopefully they are not species that get too massive. Interesting about the Vietnamese fish - have to wait and see if they have anything different to offer....

Cheers, Jim.
Interesting.
No problem. That's a interesting point there Emma. I've noticed that the females often than most like to bury themselves more. While we where searching, we found a 'few' gravid ones within the substrate. Warming the 'roe'Emma Turner wrote:Thank you for your patience whilst we tried to locate all those Pangios, Graeme!!!
