Loaches Online Forum

These giants just arrived an hour ago,with 2 free fish, one yoyo loach and the other, i dont know. can anyone please ID it for me?

I thought these large guys will be 8 inches...but it is larger, with one hitting 10.

Enjoy..

some updates.

Nice fish Chen

Do you have a better picture of the unknown loach

Whoa that is some large clowns.
My guess from the pics are one histrionica and one rostrata.
Erik:)

If I'm ever in Malaysia, I surely want to visit. You have an amazing colony of big clown loaches.

I can't wait to see them in a bigger tank. Actually, I'd like to see them in my tank. lol.

Are you quarantining new fish at all? I hope so.

Thanks!

I couldn't quarantine them, even with a 60gallon tank. it is just too dangerous and not worth it to risk another transport from one aquarium to another.

Im sure Emma can testify how strong these guys are.

Hi Chen.

Any clearer photos of your "unknown" loach? I'm still curious about this or I just had a feeling anyway.

From the plastic bag, it looks like a Clown Loach that did it with a Khuli loach.

Or... Botia Dario

I've never seen clowns and kuhlis crossing each other.

Definitely not Botia dario. The stripes and color background make me think otherwise. My guess was Botia histrionica but one person in another forum argued the possibility of Botia robusta (possibly Sinibotia robusta?) due to broken bars although it doesn't look like it at all.

Yeah, I was kidding
