New Pangio Findings!
I've just found these "tiny" Pangio's today. They are all under 1 inch TL. Nice variation if they are all P. cuneovirgata's. Don't you agree?

Thanks. I purchased 12 of them from Peter Barretts. And was also chatting to one of the staff members who orders them in from their Thailand suppliers and he basically says write a list down or attach a picture and our man over there will find them. Apparently there's a "huge" amount of loaches available, especially Pangio's.
Shari, I can only hope!

Hmmmm, interesting! I might just have to try that Graeme! I remember also that my Thai supplier was very helpful when Botia kubotai first came on the scene - even though at the time they weren't on any availability lists, I asked them for Polka Dot Loaches or "Botia angelicus" as they were temporarily dubbed, and they went and got me some! Apparently it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip out for the collectors!
Anyway, enjoy your kuhlis, they are beautiful.

Cool Graeme. Do they have the big nasal nares?
If so they are P. cuneovirgata, which from your pics I'm pretty certain they are. I just broke down the 30 that mine were living in and found only 1 from 10 that I had It's fattened up, but grown little. They seem to stay way smaller than other species.
How's your's doing Robin?
The loner is now in the 120 with two P. anguillaris and 5 P. piperata.
Nice find. Were they a good price? I just about stole mine for 99c each!
Martin.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Thanks.
Yeah Martin they do have long nasal nares. Very hard to capture on camera at the moment but with the human eye and your face up close to the tank, you can see them. I wasn't aware that they could be variable regarding the black markings.
Sorry to hear of your loss Martin. Do you think they are more fragile than other, more common Pangio's? These chaps cost me £6 for 5 and £2 each.
You can just make out the longer nasal nares here. The light sand hides them on my other pictures.

I got a batch of these the around the same time Martin did. I put them in the main tank and haven't seen them since. Well, except for the one I found a couple months ago living hapily in the bottom of my Eheim Pro filter. All the Kuhlis hide in this clump of plants I have tied to a log in the center of the tank. The Myersi are big enough that I can see a stripe or two between the leaves but the Cueno's are invisible.
