2 New guys

I was driving by Petsmart today and I figured I'd pick up some supplies. I quickly looked at the fish and saw 2 lone CL's. They looked sad and practically begged for me to snatch them up so of course I had to.

Plus one was really flushed and I felt bad.

In just a few they'll be with my 6 others. YAY!

Usually I do my fish shopping at the mom and pop thats 25 minutes away. Today was the exception and I caved.

Awesome loaches! They both look to have oddball patterns, one has an extra stripe and the other is a saddleback. Nice pickups!

Thanks!!

They actually had 2 tanks with CLs. The other tank had about 15 run-of-the-mill cls and the other had these 2. I don't know if someone purposely separated them or it was just chance, but I'll take it. =)

Nice. I disagree with calling the foremost one a saddle back though. The other is def a 4 striper!

Nice, a 4 striper! I disagree with calling the other a saddleback though.

Nice grab! Clown Loaches are the best! What size were they and how much? The Petsmart by me I believe they are $9.99 and only 1.5 inches....might be $7.99 but I think it was higher

I would say it's a saddleback. It's definitely not a normal stripe.

Really? At least 2 of my 5 look like that. I always thought a saddleback would only be classified as such if its stripe did not reach completely to its belly. My reference site was http://www.loaches.com/articles/clown-loach-coloration-marking-variations

Very nice oddballs! Four stripes is cool!
