Hi
Got a few of them. Were the pick off the bunch when they came into Neils (Pier). Possible breeding project in the future. This loach obsession is taking a grip. Was a cory nut til now lol.

Those are stunning fish. I'm planning to get some eventually! Saw them up at Peterborough a week ago and fell in love with them instantly.

Wow. Stuart, you have some amazing fish there. I wish you the best of luck in breeding them. I am starting up some grow-out tanks for my small striata and kubotai loaches and hopefully will get them into breedng size and condition within 12 months. Then I will attempt to breed them.

I wish we could get something like those amazing fish of yours here in Australia.

5ft long rocky hillstream tank - Sewellia lineolata and spotted... and lots (and lots) of spotted fry
8ft Clown loach tank: 30+ clown loaches, 10+ Yoyos.
6ft tank for 16x botia kubotai, 13x Striata, 6x Sidthimunki - I need more sids
