Loaches Online Forum

Here's a couple of pictures of my new additions.

The old faithful camera is still hanging in there i hope? Bah!!

Everyone keep an eye out for the official scientific name for these chaps. The Emperor Botia Loach is in the processes of being described!

Brilliant!

Kinda thin though...fatten them up!

Thanks.

Yes, one of them looks on the thin side but good feedings will commence from now on.

They are stunning fish Graeme

I have been given the go ahead to get a group when my 7ft is up and running

more pics...!

Btw, their gold colour is simply awesome....

More pictures?

Great news Mark! You and Joy will love keeping these Gems!

More pictures then i suppose.............

Glorious stuff Graeme!

WOW, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow,......what more can i say?

Oh yeah....superb!

Lovely shots Graeme, they look to be settling in well.

Chen, whilst these do need a bit of feeding up, they have been treated with Levamisole hydrochloride and have had intensive feedings since arriving at our store a few weeks ago. Graeme will take great care of his. They are much more elongate than some other Botiines though (a similarity to S. pulchra springs to mind) with a larger head shape, and are very very flexible.

Is there a such thing as a photogenic fish, or is it just a talented photographer?

Lovely fish. I hadn't noticed the blue sheen before.

Thank you everyone.

Jeremy, I'd say the fish and not the keeper!

Jim, It's the camera flash that shows the blue sheen. I tinks.

I hope you'll keep us updated with lots of photos of these beauties.
I really like the head-on shot!

Wow Graeme

Thanks loachmom and Matt.

Yes of course....
