Skunks....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yup, that's where I got my info from....
Sexual Dimorphism: Females generally plumper all over than males and can get extremely fat when full of eggs. Males exhibit redness around barbels and mouth.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen some breeding behavior in my Botia almorhae. I keep them in a tank with two pairs of Betta pugnax, which breed about once every three weeks. Once when they did this, a pair of the loaches seemed to go nuts. One of them got very light colors and they were swimming in tight circles around each other. A little while later they even took up position very close to each other and began shaking/vibrating. I've seen similar behavior in some Tetras, and I'm sure it's related to breeding. The behavior was most obvious following very large water changes, but part of the behavior can be observed from time to time, and apparently always while the Bettas breed.
2 of my Skunks do this quite often.

Skunks cannot be considered generally as a community fish. Most loach enthusiasts will mixed them with Yasuhikotakia eos, lecontei, modesta and other aggressive loaches.
 
Nice skunk, and Yoyo. Levi has the longest YoYo I have ever seen, but yours might be the tubbiest.
