ID needed...what fish is this?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ahh thx...it is indeed a weather loach...looked up after ur post
these wil make good food for my snakeheads
 
just for giggles it could be a sp. Trichomycteridae. which are catfish. but more than likely your right they are weather loaches
 
i wouldn't feed em to the SH's.. like all loaches they have retractable spines behind their eyes.. besides they are worth more as pets than feeders.. try selling them...

70 fish for a dollar? Son of a... Weather loaches are impossible to find in my area. I've been looking for a while and no one has them or can seem to get them.

haha...excatly my reaction...actually it was 120 fish a dollor,in fact they dont count the fish,they calculate their collective weight and that roughly come to 120 fish a dollor...

but these loaches are bigger,like 7 cms...so they are 70 a dollor
 
They are among the most endearing of all bottom fish, I'd keep a few instead of just using as feeders
