Sadly, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to Leptobotia curta:

and many of the Cobitis species:

I am living in Japan for a while and I am able to get some of these Asian loaches. Any other information regards breeding them would be appreciated. I have quite a few tanks back in my own country but space being so limited here, I only have 60 cm tanks available. I do dabble in hormone induced spawning although access to microscope and hormones is difficult for me here.
