Sinibotia pulchra pictures
These fish have to be one of the hardest fish I've ever tried to photograph. I've owned them quite a while, but never managed to get more than the odd head shot or a slightly blurry picture. They won't stay still long enough for the camera to get focus.
Since moving the fry-munching fish out of the 65 River-Tank, the two pulchra have been hiding a lot. This afternoon, the UFO Schistura in there decided it was time not to do the loachy-dance, but to go completely bananas. One of the pulchra obviously decided that it looked like fun.
So after about a million shots of nothing or a tail dissapearing stage left, I got these pictures which I am justifiably (I think) really happy with.
The one time he actually stayed still.
These fish are so wonderfully sinuous.
Digging in the gravel.
This picture tells you everything you need to know about pulchra. Ultra-flexible bodies.
And a picture that sums up why we keep Loaches. Two obviously having lots of fun together.

A mate of mine has two S. pulchra, and he had to split them up because they were fighting each other. One is very pale and poorly marked compared to the other (we think it might be a female).
He has just bought Leptobotia guillinensis and has split them up just in case.
When you say they are banned from the UK do you mean you need the licence to keep them?
