Post Pics of your loaches (No clowns)

[Lord Barium]

Hi,

I'm a loach fan, and just wanted to start a thread of loach pics. There is a thread for clown loaches, so pics of your clowns should go in that thread. But khulis, dojos, hillstreams, etc. are definently in.

I'll post some photos of my loaches when my camera starts working again.:irked:

Cheers,
LB

[Lupin]

Sure..Here are my hillstream loaches. I just need to add more.

[Lupin]

My kuhli loaches. I have 6 of these at the moment. Looking for more. I used to have a Pangio oblonga but lost it two years ago.

[Lupin]

I have 18 of these.:)

[Ashleigh]

A few of my lot, most kept at present :popcorn:

Wow. Those are some great photos :D

Poor quality, appologies. Photo taken just after they were released and have not had a chance to get some clearer pix.

Very nice Tenasserim River loaches. Definitely on the want list!

[Lord Barium]

Are dojos the only cold water loach?

[waterboy]

Here is one more http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w128/oldkoifish/PICT0436.jpg

[Ashleigh]

Are dojos the only cold water loach?


It depends what you are classing as 'cold water'. There are a few species that require lower temps than dojos, such that they are unable as of yet that I know, kept successfully such as Barbatula barbatula for example which requires around 15degrees c and lower at other times of the year.

There are several species of Sinibotia species that like the cooler temps-I keep mine around 22 degrees c, 24 in the summer.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/CSIcru/sinibotiasp.jpg
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/CSIcru/lgesinibotiaso.jpg

Some Schistura species are found in the cooler 20's, same with some of the hillstream loaches.

Although from the above species, not all are compatiable with one another eventhough temps overlap.


Few more loachie pic's :nilly:

Ooohh..I bought one along with many other hillsteams and I thought this could be Gastromyzon zebrinus. Cute fish!

On the other hand, what are they doing with the Exodon paradoxus? How long have they been together?

[Lupin]

Great Kuhlis! BTW, what do you guys feed your loaches?
Plenty. Bloodworms, algae (for hillies), earthworms, tubifex worms, mosquito larva, shrimps, commercial foods, etc.

[Lord Barium]

Well good news. My little kuhlis are growing! They're getting big :D

[Lord Barium]

Keep those photos coming!

Here are a few pics that I already had uploaded here and on photobucket:

I'll have to take some pics of my Kubotia Botia shoal tonight and post them.

[rba718]

I've seen a lot of the Kuhli's around by where I live lately, but they're so tiny! Don't they get any bigger than just an inch?

4 inches unless you are referring to the Pangio incognito which I believe is currently not available in the trade.

[Lord Barium]

They had an awsome steel gray tiger loach at my LFS. Unfortiunantly all of my tanks have little wimpy fish in them. Too aggressive!

What's the scientific name of this fish, Lord Barium?

[ewurm]

This is one I have never seen before I got it. It's one of the "Tiger Loaches"

Syncrossus Hymenophysa

We got them in as "Tiger Loaches". Usually when we get these, they are Syncrossus Helodes. It was nice to see something I haven't had come into the store.

[dhgyello04]

I have 6 of these in my tank... there a lot of fun to check out

The loach is skinny. Any updates so far? I wouldn't trust this species to a community setup. You will soon discover these are just one of the nastiest loaches although skunks are gram for gram the nastiest yet.

Nice male yoyo.:)
