I've found a poser today, in one of my tanks. The Syncrossus berdmorei.

Also new additions. The Syncrossus hymenophysa. (right)

How aggressive are these guys, Graeme? Do they leave each other alone?

It varies, Mark. Their is times where these will constantly pester each other and other loaches and times where they will sit side by side in peace. Unpredictable would be my best wordings for these chaps. If flipping a coin? The dark side would be more weighted.

I see similar behaviour in the stock tanks at work of an evening. One minute the tigers are all lounging around in a big 'loach bundle' (remember that pic I showed on here a while back?), the next minute the aggro starts. Very unpredictable. :twisted:

Graeme, how are the S. robusta coping with life in the Grrrr tank? Any new pics to share?
