Loaches Online Forum

I picked up my first hillstream loaches today.I think they are some sort of Homaloptera but I'm not sure




Cute little devils aren't they?

I also bought another 6 pygmy chain loaches to add to my 12 in the planted tank

That head first shot is great! Those fins flared like that looks like an elephant charging!

Nice find!!
Without getting a better look, it looks as if you have a Vanmanenia
hainanensis.

or possibly Liniparhomaloptera disparis.

on the left side of the bag.
And a Homaloptera yunnanensis on the right side.
