I have never seen such lively little loaches. They are no more than 1" TL absolute max, so they were very tricky to photograph, especially with being on the move all the time. They love digging about in the sand and swimming around at all levels of the tank, investigating anything they find (including me
- see later in thread). There seem to be two variations in colour, which I'm presuming must be the male/female difference. The real red ones literally glow like little embers - truly stunning. They came in quite underweight, but hopefully we'll soon fix that with plenty of feeds of tiny foods. 
Here are 2 Rosy Loaches (presumably female at the front and male at the back) with a Panda kuhli loach....
Male left, female right?
Look at that glow!
With a Panda kuhli:
Not overly clear, but you can see the long barbels:
This is the stock tank that these Rosy Loaches and Panda kuhli loaches are living in. They are sharing with some young Garra rufa:
I put my hand in the tank to take out a couple of floating leaves that had broken off from the plants, and the Rosy Loaches were instantly attracted!
I suppose if anything, I had half expected the Garras to be the ones who might come over to see 'what I was' (seeing as this species is the one that is famed for nibbling at people's skin) but they were nowhere near as interested as the loaches (please ignore my chipped nail varnish! 
). I held my hand there for a few minutes and they really seemed to enjoy nibbling at me - it was really ticklish!!!:
Hope you enjoyed all the photos,
