Hi everyone,

Last Sunday October 30th, my aquarium club held its annual Oktoberfish Show and Auction
http://www.kwas.ca/forum/content.php

Here are the loaches that I put in the show:

Syncrossus beauforti ( sorry about the auto focus, tough to tell on the small screen on the back of my camera :lol: )

Yasuhikotakia modesta:

Thanks, I showed some of my large ones, except for my clowns.
I have shown my clown loaches in a previous show, just giving them a rest :wink:

I have other loaches like yoyo, striata, dojo, dario, rostrata and kubotai,
but I don't show them too often, most non-loach keepers like seeing the big ones :shock:

I am on the lookout for dwarf chain loaches Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki,
and some day, I hope to setup a hillstream tank :D

Lucky you,
Ive got shops with dwarf loaches around my area but none of the rostrata, dario, striata, dojo, histronica, modesta and rarely hillstreams. :?

Big Als in Whitby has had dwarf chain loaches since early April. I check them out every time I'm out there (every 2-3 weeks). If you have someone from out this way coming to see you any time soon ask them to stop in and check :)

The thing is clowns cost 9 dollars where dwarfs cost like 18 dollars :roll:
