Unbelievable photography, Emma.
Glad the little guys are all together.

Wow, they are incredibly cute!

You will NOT be disappointed in keeping them, such charismatic little guys!

And they will learn to take food from your hand, took me about 2 months for mine to take food from my hands.
Every time my hand goes into the tank he thinks i have food.

Great pics Emma, keep them up.

Their eyes look so big at this age!
Very observant staff to see these little puppies in that large sump, the loaches look so perfectly camouflaged.

Whaaaaa.....? I missed the most recent pics. How did I do that?
They're fantastic Emma.
I'm more and more getting tempted into setting up a tank for some of these guys. All I ever hear is positive declarations of love by their owners so they must have something going for them

Fantastic stuff Emma, Weather loaches are responsible for my initial interest in fish , still hold a little torch for them, and may try them again in the future ? funny about oh , 5 or 6 years ago BAS had what looked like the european Fossilis , and i didnt get them , [yeah i know ,argh] just curious has anyone here ever come across Fossilis ?

Thank you for the compliments!

And here by popular demand are the latest pics of the young Weather Loaches, taken this evening 16/07.

They are growing fast and are always on the move, foraging about for bits of food. This makes photographing them quite tricky, but here's the best I got. Enjoy!.....

First off, here's a few cute pics of one of the little 'wrigglers' hiding in a piece of ceramic filter media:

(if they were going to be in that tank much longer I would remove those ceramic tubes, but as they will be moving to a larger tank very shortly, I'll leave them be)

The neverending search for food....

and in a similar shot to that last one (taken a few seconds earlier) shows that fish sifting sand through it's gills:

I couldn't get an exact size as they kept wriggling about, but I think they are at 4.5cm TL now. They get water changes every other day, which they really enjoy. Looking forward to getting them into their new tank shortly, and introducing them to some slightly larger friends.
