Cobitis paludica
I got a group of Cobitis paludica from Matt who is also a member of LOL
I picked them up from a friends house but when I got them home from I had lost one and one was looking a little poorly (got stuck in a huge tailback caused by an accident ), I got them into their own tank and after a few days most had picked up but a couple of the adults were starting to loose weight which I thought was sorted with levimasole. Unfortunately 4 of the juveniles and two adults didn't pick up and I lost them
Now for the good bit, when I decided to move the remaining fish into the rivertank to give them more space etc I caught the adults straight away but soon realised something wasn't right as I had too many fish, that's when I realised the size difference and realised that they had actually spawned
The pics I took when I moved them were rubbish so I took a few more a few days ago when having a sort out in the rivertank:
Male
Female and juveniles (from Matt)
Male and juvenile (from Matt)
Male front, female right (with juvenile behind) and that is a new youngster on the far left
Juvenile (from Matt) and new youngster
Poor image of new youngster
I have to say that I am very impressed with the growth rate of these youngsters, they seem to be growing by the day
