Mystery Loach

Post by Cooky_Luvs » Sat Mar 18, 2006 2:05 pm

Does anyone know what kind of Loach this is? I bought two today under the name of Golden Zebra Loach. After looking them up they look very different. I hope someone here knows.

Thank you, that looks like them :) Anyone know anything about them behavior wise? I'm looking around the web, but not finding much. Did find that they are typically non-agressive, which is always good.

Er.....actually, S. robusta can be pretty nasty. I certainly wouldn't go putting them with anything shy/peaceful. Others here will probably be able to add more, but I have seen fairly boisterous Botia and Schistura sp quite badly beaten up by them.

Ack, I'll have to watch them then. There's clown and yo-yo loaches in there. Hope they don't get bullied.
