None other than 13 Acanthocobitis botia (I think, please correct me if Im wrong). At £1.20 each and store cred taking it down to £5.60 total they were a bargin :D

All settling in well, have their own little tank and feeding well already. More pic's to follow in coming weeks once they have settled in and coloured up nicely.

Beautiful zipper loaches - they look to be a decent size as well. Congratulations!
Why does my aquarium always seem too small?

Thanks for the comments :D They have settled in wonderfully.
Average out at 2.5 inches so near fully grown?

These have got to be one of the most delightful little loaches to watch. They all swim up toward the surface one after the other in the current and then allow themselves to drop back down :lol:

Few pic's from tonight;
