Kinda remids me of the movie Predator

Very nice shots, Jorge! If you don't mind, I think these would be an excellent addition to the species index on the new Loaches Online web site. Please let us know if you'd like to share them on that site.

Gracias!

I don't now if you are joking... Clown loaches area available in every fish shop in Madrid for the last 25 years (I don't remember before). I think as in any european city. The most common loaches (kubotai, striata, lecontei, histrionica, almorhae, dario, modesta, sidthimunki, etc.) are easy to find and also some Schisturas (wrong identified), Cobitis, Misgurnus, Acantopsis the most common Pangio and Gastromyzon-Pseudogastromyzon. However genera as Aborichthys, Barbatula, Balitora, Mesonemacheilus, Yunnanilus, Vanmanenia, Iksookimia or even Homaloptera are fish not often seen here, they come rarely or never.
