Loaches at the Asian Supermarket

Looks like weather loaches (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus?)

Not sure if you are messing with me or not, but not all Asians are chinese... I did not ask him where in Asia he was from so I didn't want to generalize, however I do believe he was speaking Mandarin though I could easily be wrong.

in true Rodger fashion he was calling out your phrasing. The sentence made it seem like you were saying China wasn't part of Asia. I understood what you meant as did most people in the thread I'm sure.

+1 that's my guess.

cool loaches but do Asians eat those? Sushi?

Never heard of anyone going sushi with loaches, but cooked, "yes"

Yeah apparently these are intended to be served alongside tofu. But anyone have input or feed these to their monsters? At 3-4" each, my monsters would love to dine on these, but I want to hear first hand experience before I do anything.

Nice find.
Better than the pickled blue gourami that my local Asian Food Store carries..

Do you have a spare cycled filter? Buy a few of 'em, stick them in a tub with a cycled filter, feed them something decent, and see if they show signs of disease. If they're full of parasites or die for unknown reasons, best not risk it. If they last a week or so without any symptoms, they're probably safe.
Or I suppose you could chop the heads off and boil them to kill germs.

I would fallow tom's advice.

Post a feeding video if you do end up feeding them.

I think I will stop by the Asian market today just to see what live fish they have.
