Has anyone noticed a whole bunch of these ones comming into the stores lately? Also the ones that have the plain old spots on them.
But these I like.

I have just joined this forum and nuts about loaches.

Those are Sinogastromyzon wui...and nice ones at that.
I have found that those generally come in, one or two at a time as contaminants in shipments of the spotted beaufortia species. Occasionally, however, they come in larger numbers.
Nice find!

Welcome to Loaches Online sl.

Great find! It seems to be the season for Sinogastromyzon wui at the moment. I've just reserved some monsters. What size would you say these are?

Thanks for the welcome folks.

These ones are around 3 inches so they do have some growing to do. The stores were selling them for around 5-6 dollars each(cheap) so I bought around 40 of them,

along with some of the spotted ones. These ones keep to themselves just hanging out on the glass in the strong current.

I will post some more pictures of my other loaches later on.

I love loaches......
