Loaches Online Forum

Hey guys,

I recently moved pretty much everything out of my 30 Gallon and put it in my 20 Gallon because I felt that both tanks looked relatively bare. I added a Fluval 4 filter for better flow and a few more rocks, and I'm working on sanding down more Bamboo for the tank as well.

The plan for this tank is to keep all that it contains (weather loaches, black pangios) until the weather loaches outgrow it, then I'll move them into the 30 Gallon (and when they outgrow that, I suppose I'll have to re-home them ). I want to add some Sids, possibly a Knight Goby, and some rasboras or dwarf rasboras (dependent on whether or not I get the goby).

So here are some pics of the inhabitants, I will try and get a good FTS soon...

My first "tropical" fish species (though he isn't even really tropical!) the Misgurnis anguillicaudatus...


The other weather loach "Olive"...


And three pics of the meat-eater Mitch...






Hopefully I have my mind made up on this tank

Just wondering, what kind of fish is Mitch?

Beautiful pictures btw

Thanks! Mitch is a Bornean or Malayan Leaf Fish (Nandus nebulosus).

I think there are about 5 species in that genus, N. nebulosus being the second largest (at 12 cm) and N. nandus being the largest (at 20 cm). There is also a very attractive new species (N. andrewi) that has a Slaty appearance (hence it's name- the Slaty Leaf Fish). PFK did an article on it:
