9-10"

Those guys are nice and beefy. Loving the lap and ansorgii hybrid.

Thanks. They eat a lot. I feed about 1lb of tilapia a week to them.

Super nice collection especially your lap and congicus!

Can't wait till you put tile in.

they grow about 1" a year at the 4" mark. Based on this I would have to assumed its at least 10yrs old. Be careful when keeping loaches with bichirs since lower jaw has a tendency to ambush prey.

10... WOW. that's a lot of time and care to give for... Kudos!
-Also thanks for the tip. =)

E.C look for much bigger loaches then ornates..ornates will overgrow them very fast and may become their prey
