Loaches Online Forum

Hey Everyone,

I just received in some new loaches to my hillstream tank. I received some Sewellia cf beventralis, but they don't look like any Sewellia I have seen. I am thinking they might possibly be Beaufortia because I have not had that fish before and these are quite large. The body shape is pretty close to Sewellia, but the patterns look nothing like any of the Sewellia "sp" I see on Seriously.

I made a crappy phone video, so excuse the jerky quality and my babbling to myself. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The fish in question can be seen at: .35 .45 2.00 2.20 on the clock.

Once again Allen, I just love that setup. And the mix of species is impressive!! I am envious of the Vaillantella, H. confuzona and bilineata. I haven't seen them for years!
As to the species in question, I would agree they are probably Beaufortia. They certainly are very nice specimens, too.
Keep the videos coming!

Great looking tank and fish, good current in there, they are loving it

Thanks for sharing
