Lovely pictures!

Your new Yasuhikotakia modesta looks very much like a Yasuhikotakia lecontei. Others shall confirm this though. Great looking Sinibotia robusta and Yasuhikotakia eos. Sorry about your Botia dario, he/she sure looks like it's taking a beating. The Y Eos are defiantly the most aggressive loach out there.

You have wonderful pictures in your photobucket. I really liked the one titled

'sync swimmers."

Yes, I'd agree with that. The dark blotch on the caudal peduncle is what makes me lean towards a red-finned Y. lecontei.

Great pics, newshound. The tank looks fantastic! Hope the B. dario recovers quickly.

Emma

Yeah.....lecontei.

Dude.....how come you haven't been sharing your photographic skills before? These are really fantastic photos. So much character in them.

Yes....Lake Superior rocks rock All the best tanks have them

Martin.

Yes, I second Martin's and others comments. Your pictures show a very nice artistic style. I had to look at them all several times. Please post more and more often.

excellent pics!

guys I have posted that link before
most are old pix (over three years) except the robusta, eos and beat up dario.
This was during the tank tear down to rescue the dario and I thought heck I have neversnapped a pic of the eos and robusta.
ps= the pix could be way better but I didn't really care about the algae and crap floating around in the tank. i am a professional photo by day the eos and robusta pix are taken at iso1600 at 2.8 with a macro extender on a 300mm. All manual focus

regardless, they look incredible!

I love your tank newshound. Must have been a real pita to get her out, but boy did she need outta there!
It should settle down again pretty quickly. Did you do any rearranging after the destruction or will it go back as it was?

Taking pics for a living may take some of the enjoyment out of it for you, but it sure does give us all a nice fix.

I agree with everyone else. Incredible pictures

Great pics! Are the cories in Twocats Corydoras julii? Or trilineatus Or are those the same thing?

Great looking tank!

thanks folks your making me blush.
Perhaps I should take some pix of my other tanks. Something not three years old.
I find it strange that the dario gets the crap beat out of it but the yoyos that are much smaller don't?
BTW- the two dario are in another tank now and doing great. I had to move all my fish out of one tank that started leaking at 4am...ugggg. So I tossed two dario in my mean tank. And that ment that I had to tear that tank down after a week to rescue them.
I will try to take some pix in the next two weeks...lotsa other loaches.
and if Emma will send me a large group of Emperors I will get some great pix of them too

great pictures, as said. i spent part of my day yesterday browsing your photobucket, awesome stuff !

C. trilineatus and no they are not the same fish. C. julii is a lot more uncommon and is labeled C. trilineatus all the time.
