Red orchid loaches

[f22]

Hey guys, just got a few of these for my geo tank. Homaloptera orthogoniata. Red orchid loach, only about 2" but pretty cool. They stay right at the return point for high flow.

Interesting loach I never saw them before. How big do they get. I like smaller loaches CL get too big for my taste.

I like the looks of these guys!

From what I understand they only get 4-5" they act like hill stream loaches so far.

Nice, what's the cost and availability like.

only got a few in, unstoppable took two, ciric is taking three, and that leaves me with four remaining. They were $28 each. If you wanted to take two you're more than welcome, looks like mine already paired off.

Probably another one those great looking cooler water loaches that I can't keep in my main tank, dang if that's the case

From my research so far 72-76 is optimal for em.

It's ok I was looking around and I really don't have any place to put them right now, but thanks for the offer. I wish I did cool fish.
