Beautiful fish and we can't wait for more photos, videos and any other information on your fish and setup.
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

Hi Erwin, welcome to Loaches Online :)

Am I correct to think that the big specimen is a wild caught fish and not tank grown?

That is a great picture showing a juvenile clown with such a large adult.

Hi Erwin and Welcome, I see you live in Kalimantan and export live fish.
Your 30cm Clown Loach is a beautiful specimen - one we rarely see of that size. You must have a good pick of the fish, being in the business.
Cheers Graeme.

Hi Borneo24, wonderful pics !

Do you ever come across Botia [Syncrossus] Reversae , there are very few pics of them , they have a reverse pattern to S.hymenophysa !

Also some of the wonderful Barb sp/s P. collinwoodi ?

hi erwin and welcome here. thanks for the pictures. I think everybody would like to know how you bring them up to this size. what sort of fishes do you sell? any gastromyzon among them? best adress for importers in germany is glaser. for the reselling in a shop there's a problem of quantity needed for an import (fix costs are high). just write me a pm.
cheers charles
