I managed to get a few more pictures of my Sid's, the new ones have settled in really well and I can honestly recommend a huge shoal of Sid's to anyone, seeing all 36 out at feeding time chasing bloodworm is a great sight :D

No wonder your sids settled in nicely. You have a neat tank. Also, I'm very jealous of anyone who has 36 sids--I'm trying to find just six. :D

Awesome, Mark! 8) As a keeper of 40+ clowns, I too can attest to the wonders of a large species-only loach shoal.

Now that's one stunning shoal!

Crikey, 36 sids! That's like $500 worth of loaches you got there!

What size tank are they in? I've always wanted Sids, they look great in a big group.

Thanks for all the great comments, they really are a stunnimg sight :)

Palaeodave - They are in a 38 gallon tank at the moment which is heavily filtered and receives 2x 20% water changes a week but when my 7' tank is installed they will move into either a 50 gallon or 80 gallon tank.

That really does look like it should - lots of happy sids all together. Very nice, MD.
