Mark, this is a fabulous video! 8) 8) 8) Beautiful tank and beautiful healthy active fish. I love the way you can see the flexibility of the loaches as they search in and amongst the pebbles.

How are you finding the skunks are getting on with the others?

Man! It's getting like the Loachdance Film Festival here today 8)

Great video Mark. I wish that Photobucket would be as good quality as that.

the skunks are non-aggressive towards the other fish so no problems there i have 3 of them. i was thinking of getting 2-3 more the get a little group. but the don't nip at the other fish anymore. the did in the beginning but now i spot them sleeping right next to the other botia's. there are easy to scare though since they are the first to hide and the last to come out again. unless it's fresh cucumber they will defend that till there belly's are full and to sleepy to chase the barbs away (the other botia's don't care about greens anymore... they did when i still had clowns but now the just ignore it)

it comes at a price martin i have to host it myself and a 10mb file takes alot of traffic if downloaden to much... so it may be down nearing the end of the month so my site wont go down due to much traffic or i have to pay more...

this may be due to i'm dutch and english isn't my first language, but if i read this you say my skunks look half as great as the should? but you say the video is superb? so i'm a bit confused what you really mean.

Don't worry Mark! :wink: What Andy (piggy4) means is that Skunk Loaches might be fiesty little devils, but they sure are beautiful. He thinks your fish and video are superb, as do we all. :D
