Loaches Online Forum

It's all fish pics everyone, but first a couple of pics of one of the caudipunctata in my 6 ft loach/barb tank.


now some of the pretties from Em's shop.
sorry about the water stains.
Physoschistura sp, i got two pairs of these, sweet.


the eos tank, ( they growled at me)

lecontei tank, i've never seen them as fiesty as these.


i'll post some more pics up later.

mick

a few more.



and this wierd Garra, it has the finnage colouration of a flavatra but the body markings are so variable it's got to be one of the next buys i do.
maybe Emma could enlighten us about them.

through lack of space i had to be careful what i bought, so in the end i picked up 3 Garra flavatra, 6 Mesonemacheilus guentheri which had the most beautiful colours.
here's a few pics of them in my tank.

this was Mick who said he wasnt going to buy any fish.....

Mick, it was great to meet you, and Ashleigh as well. hope all the fish have settled in well

Thanks Helen, yes they settled down very well.
ME say i was'nt gonna buy anything. haha i could'nt help it with all them fish around.
at least i've not bought as much as Mark, his list was like our shopping list for morrisons, he'll be taking boxes of fish home with him and big Graeme.

Thanks for adding the pics, Mick. I love your Y. caudipunctata, that is one I am yet to get hold of. Hels has the photographic evidence of Mark and Graeme's trolleyfull of fish boxes.

Where will they put them all????!
