Triplophysa siluroides
Thought I'd share some pics of our latest additions, some beautiful 8" (20cm) Triplophysa siluroides. We're in absolute awe! What amazing loaches!

That's very true!

Nice Big Loach! Looks like a catfish. I guess that's why it's common name is Catfish-like Loach

Re: Triplophysa siluroides
Congrats, that's some admirably "Sharky" Found it so fsacinating, started looking for it right away. The one on Fishbase, shows assymetric pattern, it says it gets up to 50cm (1 1/2 ').

Hi Emma,
any chance to see a movie of them? while feeding?
Would be nice.
Cheers,
Thomas

Re: Triplophysa siluroides
Thanks all!
Thomas - we'll let them settle in for a bit first, then see if we can get better pictures and maybe a video at feeding time.
Matt - these are wild caught fish, individually hand caught by net.
Here's a couple more pics. Apologies for the reflection in the first one, thought I would include it so you could get a proper idea of size:
And a lucky shot of one swimming along the front of the tank:
