My latest addition

There was only one available and he looked lonely, so I had to snatch him up. Looks like I'll be searching for more to keep him company.

Very nice - looks like Sinibotia robusta to me. Keep an eye on this new addition as they can be quite feisty towards placid species (not so much when they are juvenile, but definitely as adults).

Thank you Emma !!! He is a randy little fellow, and very active. If he starts to give the clowns or other loaches in with him a hard time, out he comes !! I haven't seen many for sale around my area, so I may have to look for some on-line sources for more.

Cheers

Thats my favorite......with Clowns and no problem. This one will rule your tank and be fine .It takes no duff but starts none either so you should be fine. Good luck finding more...These are so rare.....I keep searching to no avail ,I would take 25 more in a heartbeat....So pretty...after all its my avatar..... 8) This one seems a bit different on the tail and the facial stripes from mine but normalcy is hard to define with so few to see and compare.

That's one strikingly colored fish! Nice!
Why does my aquarium always seem too small?
