Loaches Online Forum

I found this little guy a couple nights ago at a LFS, so had to bring him home. I've been trying to read and learn as much as I can about loaches so i can keep these little guys happy (and this site has been invaluable - thanks!)

I've been trying to ID what his pattern might be from the Colour Variationpage. The best I can come up with is a 3rd stripe fragmentation combined with a second stripe top and belly spot. The pattern is only on the one side however, the other side is the normal 3-stripe pattern -- would this be accurate?

.. unless he's trying really hard to be a 4-stripe loach or something

his name is Bob.







And I ended up with about 25 pictures of him doing this - i assume its the 'stop trying to take my picture' pose

Nice patterning. Yes, it's a sort of combination of more regularly seen amomolies.

This one's trying hard too...lol.

Nice loaches, Rev! Come to think of it..I should start pestering my friend to find clowns with those odd patterns for me.

Thanks Martin for shifting the post over -- I have to stop trying to do anything computer related when i'm half asleep.
