More New Loaches

Post by Mad Duff » Tue Nov 07, 2006 8:08 am

***The Jedi Mind Trick Strikes Again***

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I took Joy out this morning to get her a couple more Panda Cories for her tank and purely by chance they had some Loaches in as well so I thought I would treat myself as well :D

I got these 2 lovely marked B. Striata

My powers must have been working well this morning because she knew which 2 out of the 20 or so fish I wanted before I said anything :shock: and at little over £1 each a bargain :D

I wanted some more Sidthimunki's for my Sid tank so when she said she would do me 10 for £20 :shock: I thought it would be rude not to :D

And before anyone asks yes I did get Joy her 2 Panda Cories as well :lol:

Thank you Helen, I will get more photos as soon as it settles in and lets me. I dad take quite a few pics in the small photographing tank but it was starting to get a bit stressed and the colours were fading, they both seem to have settled well and have already had a good feast on bloodworm :) .

The fish That I am getting from Emma's in December are for a couple of specific tanks which are fairly empty at the moment (unless anything else catches my eye), I have just set up a new 75 Gallon, new 44 Gallon and hopefully a 39 gallon will be set up before I come through to Emma's or soon after :D

OMG! It's the prodigy of a few beers and a fish and chip supper between a striata and a rostrata! Amazing looking fish Mark.

When can we go shopping? I want to learn the ways of the Dark Wallet (full of moths) Side :wink:

What I really find amazing is that they're really beautifully healthy fish at such an insane price.

Now the Striata has settled in a bit the markings look great, the Sid's have been in the shop for a couple of weeks now so I was expecting there to be a few skinny ones but there wasn't one in the tank. I wasn't expecting chunky fish but I was surprised with the quality of them.

Your ability to find great loaches at great prices never ceases to amaze me. And that striata is incredible!

It amazes me as well Jim :lol: , I think quite a few of my recent purchases have been either lucky finds or just been in the right place at the right time :D .

Got any new pictures of that B. striata? Thats quite a collection of Sids you have there. Dont you have like 20 now? I bet that will look really cool once you get them out of quaratine and in with the others.
