click on the thread above, I'll be covering some of our trip to China to collect the Imperial flower loach, and we've also found the purple orchid loach, a super flat giant hill stream, the tibetan high plain loach, and many more, and even a eyeless pink cave loach. I'll slowly post more pictures and updates, also look out for the next few issues of TFH magazine which will cover our trip as well.

Picture below it eh Leptobotia elongata, which is the most sought after fish for me at this time period.

The funny thing is just a couple of months before leaving on our trip, I received phone calls and sever requests for this fish, and I really wasn't sure if we'll see, or find this fish at all, so I reponded with some degree of skepticisim. But that Sept. 5th, we returned safely with thousands of pictures, stories and last but not least, the fish that lead us on our journey! Hope you all enjoy!
