I don't know wherever to congratulate you or give you my condolences, Nikki. :wink:

Lovely entertaining little chaps though. :D

They're everywhere right now... I have five in the bathroom tank. They seem to be less aggressive than when I had only two. Very cute loaches, but there are a ton of fish I would not keep them with.

Congrats, Nikki! They may be fiesty, but they are beautiful loaches.

Not just cute, very efficient too....

A store here put a few small ones into the tank of my favorite barbs. In three days, not a single fin on any barb was left undamaged.

(Saved me some $: I was about to get more barbs, they were not the common kind....)

Might be interesting to pit them against an Oscar....

Seriously, Nikki, watch them. If they actually become part of the community, I think they'll produce the most problems and damage to other fish. They are not like other loaches. Size means nothing to these fish.

I would keep them on their own. Do not expect integration.
