Loaches Online Forum

Nothing to say, Il just let the pic's speak for themselves... these are STUNNING, photos don't do them justice at all More to follow once they settle in

Big thankies to Neil for getting these







There is one individual (at the front) that appears to have some redness around the mouth.... only noticed when taking the pic's zoomed in, not able to be seen just by eye... not to sure if it looks like bacterial or just a bit or damage when being transported







Ashleigh

Absolutely stunning!!

Gorgeous Ashleigh!

Those are stunning Ashleigh, are they from Pier Aquatics by any chance

Thanks guys

Any thought on the damage to the mouth on that one individual? Does it just look like a bang on the glass or a bit of infection, its starting to just look like a red blur to me each time I stare at it

Yep, from Pier... I spent a small fortune today theres loads of lovely sp in as well as some nice loaches, theres some lovely Nemacheilus ornatus in and Rosy loaches, possibly 2 sp, few individuals are a lot more grey in colour and have a speckled/pepper pattern as opposed to the single lateral stripe, pic's will follow once I get everyone settled, I have a lot of rearranging to do to fit everyone in

how many ornatus and rosy did you get Ashleigh, i went up yesterday and got 6 of each, i saw the albinos but knew you were coming up for them or to have a nosey. they were'nt cheap though.
my fish have settled down great, eating and investigating every nook and cranny.
btw did you get any of those young histi's?

i have a feeling thats transport damage but i would still dose them just in case.

I got 15 of the ornatus just incase David (daspricey) wants any, if not they were cheap enough so Im happy enough to keep them all and I got 10 of the little Rosy loaches just as I have never seen them as cheap as that.

The albinos are something else, I was running around trying to find them and walked straight past them

I was debating the Histies, but I don't really have anywere to put them right now if Im completly honest with myself, although there were some stunners in that lot and Im now thinking I should have got some, oh well, another visit in a few weeks time wont hurt


Ashleigh

They are beautiful!!!!!

Nice photos.



The redness maybe just a sign of stress of being moved??

David

EDIT,

Posted the same time.

Thanks again, if we can sort something out i would love a couple

David

so you have'nt left many ornatus as there didnt seem to be that many.
i only took six of each and 4 histis because at the mo i've still got around 20 tanks empty until they finish upgrading the flat.

mick

No porbs David, Im sure we can work something out at some stage

I think Neil said he ordered 40/50, I got a couple of those eels, possibly 2 different sp, might need an id on them

20 tanks empty how can you live with such a sight?!?!

Ashleigh

i don't manage Ashleigh, i cwy myself to sleep every night .
only a few more weeks and i'm on the hunt for fish.
i honestly did'nt think there was that many ornatus in the tank.
i know MD is after some.

mick

Beautiful specimens Asheligh, congratulations!

Emma

Amazing pangios, Ashleigh! How many did you get?

Thanks very much Im pleased to report that they have all settled in well and came out for late evening munchies last night and have taken to the log that the bundle of Pangios all chill out under, its like they were always there

Nancy I got 3 in total, two dead cert female, one most likely to be male



Ashleigh

The closest i ever got to keeping a albino was this little chap. A "leucistic" form.
