Clown Loaches - Kalimantan vs Sumatra

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
From what I see the Sumatra strain have black on their fins. The kalimantan have red fins.
 
Both geographical variants have both black, and red in their fins. Take a closer look at the photos shown in the very first post in this thread.

The loach in the first photo certainly got my attention.If I could find some that look like that one I wouldn't mind trying a group.
 
RD, I just stumbled upon this thread. Thanks for the great info. I definitely learned something new.
 
It seems like a couple of my images are no longer showing so I thought that I would update.

10" wild caught loaches collected in Sumatra.

Domestic, hormone induced, bred clown loaches sold locally at 1/2 - 3/4 inch TL. This was several years ago, I have not seen any since.
