Batik Loach?
We got a call yesterday from the hour-away fish store that they are getting in batik Loaches this week
Both the book and the species profile on the site say they are "feisty" but not much else about behaviour, compatibility, etc. Anyone here have them?
How would they do in our 120 with the botias (kubotai, striata, sids, rostrata) and a Sumo. There are lots of hiding places, and I am planning to make more caves, too. Currently has 2 Rena XP3s, adding a Korelia 2 powerhead one I get it loach-proofed.
We also have the 40 gallon, which we are "discussing" possibilities for -- I am favoring a river tank, Mr Cloudhands is interested in dwarf cichlids

They're in the Q tank with an expensive assortment of dithers and interesting items. Perhaps most interesting and different are a few clown killis and a handful of celestial pearl danios for the kuhli tank. Lots more cardinals to school in the 120 loach tank, as well as a few more to add to the dither groups.
They are REALLY active -- and move very quickly, but here are our psychedelic batik loaches:
And here is one impersonating an eel while trying to escape the q-tank:
the Q=tank is crowded 'cause I thought they would need all sorts of out-of-line-of-sight hiding places, but it makes it even harder to get photos....
