They are still very active (hence hard to photograph!) and are feeding well. :D

I can see you are working your magic, Emma.
They look better already. :D

They're very cute. They remind me of the Loach equivalent of Corydoras habrosus.

If it wasn't for the loachy mouth, I'd say they may not even be a loach

That's it, I need to move to the UK :?

Emma, Do you have any way of knowing if those guys are available in the states?? I've never seen nor heard of them.

I'm curious if you think they would get on with Sidthimunki and Horsefaces???? I have a 55g that they would LOVE if they do :D

I have heard of them showing up in the US. The guy who operates the anubiasdesign group on Yahoo was supposed to get them. I'm not sure if he did, though.

Wendie PM'd me the other day and mentioned that a supplier she knew had seen them on his fish list, so yes, I think they will be appearing in the states. :D

There were fires in the area so they couldn't get to them.
They will be trying again this week. I'll keep you posted.

Fabulous! Thanks, Wendie :D

How about compatibility??? Think they would do well with Sids, Horsefaces and mixed Tetras???

They are on the Frank's list for Sunday delivery. Frank quarantines and deworms, so actual availability is at least a week away. You can check his forum for the incoming list.

Where would Frank be located, and does Frank Ship??? ;)

Actually, I'd need to get some idea of a cost before I even consider this :?

Located: Long Island, New York.
Ships: Yes.
Cost: I have no idea, but I bought so far 34 fishes from him and price was not a deterrent (my qtank capacity is :oops:). You can ask him or wait till the price is posted:

Incoming Sunday list is here:
