Loach junkies

First topic message reminder :

How do.. I was just wondering where all my loach junkies are at..
Im new here so I figured I'd give a holler... anyone have pictures
of your loaches?? I'd love to see them... peace -JT

The ingredients in the O-nip are not that great ,here they are.
Fish meal,wheat meal,torula dried yeast, ca-caseinate,gammarus meal,spirulina algae,krill meal,daphnia meal,tubiflex meal,cyclops meal,alfalfa,spinach,carrots,pepper,veggie oil,parsley,vitamins and colorants.
Guaranteed analysis: min. Crude protein 47.8%, min crude fat 8%,max crude fiber 2.1%,max moisture 5.6%,max crude moisture 11.7%.
Too much meal involved and the ingredients could be better but the fish love it. It's like McDonald's vs peas and rice lol.

Here are mine:

Good and fat..

Without doing my research are they a skunk,
and a couple of horsefaces?... 'iridescence' on #1 is great!

1st one is a red finned botia loach, the 2nd is known as a tiger or Blythe loach. The Blythe is a very nasty and aggressive little thing. It will fight with my Cichlids for territory. They can get up around 14". They are some of the coolest loaches I have ever owned.

Good fish!.. I've never heard of a "Blythe" but you caught
my attention definately... he reminds me of a Dumerils monitor
with his kind of 'neck arc' and body style... -Peace JT

Ok word aka Berdmore.. That's crazy most loaches like
buddies.. I bet that's why he likes (or doesn't) the ciclids.. "scrappy"..
Thats awesome, I'm glad you put him up here... -peace JT

Ps.. coincidentally, dumerils monitors have a reputation for being kind of
nasty, think the velociraptor in Jurassic Park... they like the belly and soft stuff..
I didn't do my homework again but it would be funny if they 'overlap' in their
natural territories...

Speaking of reptiles.... It's cool to get off topic right?
...does anyone have a good source for eyelash vipers? golds'n gardens :)
Preferably on the east coast, just to make it easy... -peace JT

Shot this with an Air Jordan.. can you see the difference?

...this is before they ate everything... Anyone else got
some pictures they can toss up here?? -peace JT

I'm just trying to get my name the whole
way down the 'latest topic' line... dont mind me... Peace -JT

I just got 4 more angelicus botias, and 3 striata botia. They are way smaller then the rest but are learning the ways of the tank. I do have a couple of loaches pics that I just took but I have to upload them.

please do.. :)... angelicus are like the name....yoyo's are like their name ;)

.....I'd love to see your pictures ............. Peace JT

btw, how do the striata act? I cant find those
around me.. Peace JT

..ps I just noticed my air jordan shot is pre all the plants
they ate.. those two javas... have no idea whats comming,
the plastic ones in the back are still with us... ;)....

............see little dude peeking out of the cave.. haha .. Peace JT

I hope this shows up....

Madness, here's your blythe "comparison"..





Not my animal but dope 'none the less'.. look at him looking at you !!! Peace JT

Striatas act just like the angelicus but seem to be a bit more shy then the rest. They are new so it could be adjusting.

they almost look like a yoyo/angelicus mix..

my angelicus are real shy... they like to load up in the rena heater,
or in some pvc I put in my tank.... the yoyo's are pretty much screw balls

..........and the clowns are just fat.. ;).. I like the clean white on your janks, I wonder
if they change pattern over time?... Peace JT

This is where they load up in my tank

Do they change pattern?

they look like they might go "labryinth" like yoyos once the get a little age on'm?
Peace JT

I do have some smaller ones with tighter patterns. The one in the picture has changed a lil' since i have had it.

I totally love loaches thier personalities are so sweet

A little clip of the stratia and the rest.
