Dougstark Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Does anyone keep these loaches? It is interesting to watch as their patterns slowly change. They become quite different to what they were when I bought them. Here is a photo of a young one And this one is a year older, about 13cm Have another slightlylarger but it hasnt changed as much.

SpidersWeb Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 It's common with loaches. Compare the colouration of a baby clown loach you buy in stores, to a 20 year old monster, and you'll see there is a massive change in colouration (loss) as they age.

Dougstark Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Its not only colour change but a complete change in pattern. I checked on net but none shown had changed as much. Just curious as to what they will become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
