Loaches Online Forum

Hello everyone, I went to my aquarist yesterday and after a longish conversation ended up leaving with 12 Trigonostigma espeis. According to the storekeeper they do not need dark still waters like T. heteromorphas but are happy in a light tank and prefer strong current. And that has indeed seemed to...

In Sweden they range from 120-160sek (12-15eur), but they are rarely available.

Hmm, it seems that they're really expensive here then. Wonder if my aquarist is a bit on the expensive side or if there is some reason why they cost so much more here...

I suppose there's nothing more to do wit...
