Second biggest Chromobotia macracanthus in Slovenia

[Ded1]

It is actually only 6 inches clown loach, but I live in a very tiny country, so have some understanding

It is only 6 inches, but this fish is a jewel of my 5 Clown Loaches community ( rest of them are still small guys )

And I felt little sad for this guy, not posting some very BAD quality pictures of it that I just took with my mobile phone.

Anyway, meet Stucky:



And passing by a full grown Pearl Gourami...these two guys go way back together, often spending time in same cave



Other 4 loaches requested some extra food if I am to take their picture, I was not in the mood for negotiations

Never negotiate with terrorists, Ded1. Nice loach!

Hi Stucky!!! Congrats on holding the distinctive position of being the second largest clown in your country. That's quite an honor, and it brought a big smile to my face.

We will try to assasinate the first one...

You know, this country has a population that you can take us all and put in a suburb of New York for example, or other big west city...so

@Mark, I did warned them that i wil bom..ehm...liberate their caves if they dont cooperate

Hey Ded1,

nice FAT loach you've got there.
When I first saw the pictures I wasn't very impressed until I discovered the "tiny" pearl gourami .. which immediately corrected my idea of its size by quite a bit.

Thanks connor, coming from you it is a real compliment

Yes, gourami helped a lot as an extra actor .

But seriously, he is not really big loach, just healthy, fat, making progress every year more, and I am proud of the guy, so I posted picture. And in 5 years I cant remember that fish was ever sick.

Anyway, 2 years from now and with digital camera, it will be more impressive
