Today I managed to pick up 6 from Big Als at a pretty good price. They're all under 3 inches. After a normal acclimitization period, I slid them into the 120 that will now be their home.
Within a minuite or two they were searching for food so I popped in some of my homemade frozen mix. They went absolutely nuts for it which is a good sign I reckon. They need a good feed up so it's good that they like this as it's pretty high protein I would imagine.
Here's a few rather scrappy pictures. There's a lot of muck in the water where they were breaking up the food.
Considering that they had only been in the tank around 30 minuites, I'm suprised how nicely coloured they are. I'm sure they'll get even better in a week or so with good food.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
... even though there are basically just 3 colors and 3 shapes ... perhaps because of that - clear lines - clear message - bold expression ... impressive what impression can come across from a "little" loach ...
