I saw a massive weather loach last weekend. Approx. 9 or 10 inches in length, and a lovely deep body. They wanted £25 for it!

That is amazing. I didn't know they got that large. The only thing about them is how limited you are as far as tankmates for them.

I currently have a coldwater tank and I have one lonely dojo (not for long) and I am going to put my daughters goldfish in there with them. Not much else likes the temps these guys do...was gonna go with a violet goby...sold at PetSmart as freshwater...ugh, however after researching them I learned this is not the case.

get as big a school of white clouds as you can. They are absolutely gorgeous, unfussy little fish. Not hard to breed either - but I'm betting the weathers and the goldfish would dispose of any eggs sharpish; mine do!

I just paid £15 for a monster 8 inch Syncrossus berdmorei. Now if i could only capture a picture of him. I always forget to capture the in bag pictures. :?

Ooooh, how has The Eos Boss reacted to this monster-sized newcomer?

Not to bad actually. It's the boss Syncrossus berdmorei of the group who has issues with him. :D

Thanks Sophie,

I found a new LFS and I got some great fish the other day, it's posted under lookie what I got. The weather is really neat. I am off to get the other 2 emerald corys so I will grab some white clouds, thanks for the suggestion.
