The one with the split stripes seems to take the damage. Which was added first. These where similar in size to each and added at different times right? Are they both male? they do seem slender and long...just conjecture...

What's with the bare bottom?

Looking good, Chen.

Do you know where abouts these came from originally? Every time I see them, I can see such a vast difference in head shape to my large clown loaches. I think you have quite a few males there, and even compared to my males, the head and mouth area still looks somewhat bigger.

Water quality problem.

I just know they are from Indonesia..exactly...mine looks..sharper..these guys eat 1-2 pieces of market prawn everyday but still couldn't archieve the mass like your clowns...

Thanks Chen. Even with the girth not taken into account, the head shape of your fish is still very different to mine. I'll try for a shot of one of my obvious large males so that we can compare them.

Hope you manage to get on top of the water quality problem.

Chens are the ones with the bright finnage which I thought where the Borneo var. and Emmas the Sumataran. The girth and overall head shape differ but after seeing the snubnose var I am just thinking Chens 2 large are male.Purely a guess

Those 2 large ones are males....they'll fight almost everyday.
