Water change day for some and a chance to capture my
Mesonoemacheilus triangularis on camera. It's been a long time since i've had a chance to capture these little chaps and chapettes on film. Here's a couple of pictures.
A male having a rest.
A female also having a rest.
Then the male pesters the female.
And a picture of a
Schistura cf. balteata just for good measure.

Lovely
Is there much interaction between the two species

Not really. They do interact with each other at feeding times with competing for food and such, but they basically ignore each other. The two Mesonoemacheilus triangularis are always on the look out for each other. Especially the male.

Mesonoemacheilus triangularis next weekend

Nice one!
A couple sounds good for these
feisty chaps. You know the other option with keeping 8+ or more to suppress the aggression but that is another tank set-up.
I take it Craig has some in stock soon? (i must resist!)

I've been really resisting them for months now....
The fish is beautiful, but it seems with a huge potential for havoc in a loach community tank....
