Maybe one of you can tell me what loach this is?



Thanks,

Superb picture once again!

What kind of fish is that in the background?

Looks like a Twig Catfish Farlowella acus

Thank you Graeme.

The fish is the background is a Farlowella sp., sold as Royal Farlowella when we bought it. It is about 8" long and has very extended top and bottom rays (out of the picture) on the tail.

If you are not yet tired of making these nice photos, can we see all of it please?

I loved my farlowella when he was with me. Grew from a tiny 4" little stick into an 8+inch twig in a few short months. Best way to catch them is to just pick them up gently with your fingers. Netting them will often damage their noses.

I vote for more pics too.
Start a new one for your farlowella over on the freshwater forum...

i used to have a 'twig cat' which is very close to the farlowella, sans the long nose..but they only get ~4"

that was a neat fish..

Gorgeous picture and a lovely healthy fish. I want a few of these for my 120.

Lovely pic. I'm pretty sure that the fish behind the Syncrossus berdmorei is a Sturisoma aureum.

A better look can be had over in the freshwater section. I posted a solo shot of the fish over there. Titled it Farlowella though because I hadn't seen Emma' post.
