SoCal 2008 : Love these loaches

[Lupin]

Wow, very cool, but are those dyed?

That question bothers me.lol To be honest, I've never seen loaches with that much intense colors. I have 9 Yasuhikotakia modesta here but none with such color intensity. They have been known to be dyed in some cases indeed but I haven't seen a dyed specimen of this fish personally so I cannot answer straight away that those are natural or dyed.

Hmmm what about the fins, wouldn't they be colored as well, but again the eyes say dyed to me.

The fins are naturally orange, light red or yellow. Those are the natural color variations of this species.
