I caught these two guys fighting today. Not the greatest of pictures because they were a ways back in the tank and moving very rapidly.

They were really getting into it with one another.

Shame this one is blurred. It would have been the best picture.

Have you ever seen ctenos and scitulus fighting like that? Mine are not together in any tank so I haven't seen that. It would be interesting to know how they interact since they are so similar in appearance .

It's obviously very heavy business they are working out. It's strange to see such a determined look on a fish. May the best loach win.
Your vantage point determines what you can see.

Don't hillstream loaches remind you of the aliens from that movie 'puppetmasters'?

Super cool fish. Love the war stripe :)

Fantastic shots! 8) They look like they've got the right hump with each other! :lol:
