got some skunk loaches, they are about 1.5 inches long. Cutest darn things. I couldn't resist! :)

I don't know wherever to congratulate you or give you my condolences, Nikki. :wink:

Lovely entertaining little chaps though. :D

They're everywhere right now... I have five in the bathroom tank. They seem to be less aggressive than when I had only two. Very cute loaches, but there are a ton of fish I would not keep them with.

Congrats, Nikki! They may be fiesty, but they are beautiful loaches.

Not just cute, very efficient too....

A store here put a few small ones into the tank of my favorite barbs. In three days, not a single fin on any barb was left undamaged.

(Saved me some $: I was about to get more barbs, they were not the common kind....)

Might be interesting to pit them against an Oscar....

they are the smallest in the tank, in with 3 gigantic modestas, 10 clowns, 3 yoyos, 3 striatas, 3 kubotai, 2 hitrionica, and one nasty pulchra. they'll learn their place soon enough. :D

Seriously, Nikki, watch them. If they actually become part of the community, I think they'll produce the most problems and damage to other fish. They are not like other loaches. Size means nothing to these fish.

I would keep them on their own. Do not expect integration.
