I did consider Ruby Shark Epalzeorhynchos frenatus ( you really got me there ), but i always read about them, how agressive they are when get a bit older? Now, I have no experiance with them at all, just info I am reading about them states so?
Are they less agressive than Epalzeorhynchos bicolor ( Red tailed black shark )?
I cant say that I personally have ever had an overly aggressive Epalzeorhynchos frenatus, I have always kept them with larger fish including Clown Loaches and they have been fine, I have heard plenty of reports of aggression but they are certainly no where near as aggressive as Epalzeorhynchos bicolor.

Spectacular Fish. When I see great pics of different species of loaches on the same thread I get a little overly happy.

I've enjoyed all your photos. I am starting to really like Botia kubotai , but I don't know if I'd ever find them around here. I'm looking forward to a bigger tank!! :D
