Loaches Online Forum

Hi all,

This past Sunday, my home club, the Kitchener-Waterloo Aquarium Society held their annual Oktoberfish Show and Auction.
There is a Loach class in the show.
Which one do you think was judged to be 1st place ?

Young Orange Fin Botia:


Striata Loach:


Clown Loach:


Older Orange Fin Botia:


There was also a Sewellia lineolata hillstream loach, but I could not get a reasonable photo of it in the show jar,
it did not make the top 3 in the judge's opinion ...

Most likely the clown loach, but I like the old modesta myself.

Yes, the Clown was first

Any guesses on 2nd and 3rd ?

Those are some beautiful healthy fat fish.

THe young orange fin and then the old orange fin.

Second place was the young orange fin botia
Third place was the Striata

My loaches were the clown, the striata and the older orange fin botia

Very nice fish you have. Good show!
