Loaches Online Forum

What kind of hillstream loach(es) are the photos of?

Walmart got a new shipment of hillstreams, also are the compatible with the vannies?











I'll try to get more pics as soon as they settle in.

I got 7 of these today.

You have got to be kidding!!!
Looks like you have Sinogastromyzon wui pic #2
Gastromyzon ctenocephalus pic #3
Beaufortia kwiechowensis pic #4,5 and 6
The guy with the bars, spots and red tail is Gastromyzon ocellatus.
What an interesting mix.
The S. wui and beaufortia are Chinese and the Gastros are from Borneo.
I am waiting until next week when the April Fish of the Month show up. Maybe I'll see some of these guys. I really want some of the P. fangi and the vanmanenia.

Jim, fast as always with an ID.

Martin, I have been assimilated.

EDIT: Are these compatible with my vannies?

Thank you all for the help and advice.

Yes, they are compatible. Just be sure to watch them to make sure they are healthy. I guess I am just a little bit paranoid of Walmart fish.

they all seemed healthy when I got them bellys were visible and they have cleaned the algae I grew outside off 2 rocks. They really like the new setup. vannies are moving tomorrow. If they were incompatible with the vannies, you'd have been receiving a shipment shortly. I would have sent you the vannies.

Enjoy some new photos.

Stunning fish there Tom!
That S.Wui looks really nice, especially as an avatar ;-) There is something quite special in the way that Wui move, it's so different to the motion I see with the P.Cheni. Very nice find.

I'm going to get the remaining few later today. They are so awesome to watch. What suck is they are rare around here. I want to buy all I can now.

Lovely fish Tom , hopefully I will manage to slip a few S.Wui into my collection after I have got my Sewellia Lineolata.

wow. i recenlty went to wallyworld and all they had were 2" plecos....good find.

Great finds, once again Tom! Hope they settle in well, and looking forward to lots more photos.

They look nice and healthy.
Isn't it amazing what buying a few hillstreams will do for you. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up setting up another river tank.

The fish girl will order more for me on monday

I really like the wui

They'll be perfectly ok with the Vannies Tom.

I just fed mine my home-made frozen mix and took these pics. They like it....they like it a lot!













As you can see, a big mix of species and various sizes of baby P. cheni mixed in too. Everyone gets on.

Martin.

Wui are a cool fish. Unfortunately, they tend to hide much of the time.
With all these new fish, have you noticed any ammonia spikes in the new tank?
