Hi,
a few weeks ago I've purchased 5 M. fossilis from a pond fish breeder here in Germany. Looking for 30 years to keep this loach and now it happens!
They have well settled in, but they are much more shyer than the Asian weather loaches.
Cheers,
Thomas

I'm surprized you can keep them in Germany. It is illegal in NL

Of course it's not allowed to take them from the wild, but if they were breeded you can keep them here in germany.

Those are some very nice looking loaches, Thomas! I don't think I've ever seen them in the US (sniff)

In many cases, I like the German system better than our own. This is a good example. Have luck with them.
