sandysme Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 today I got 2 from wet pets and on the way home while my daughter was holding the bag she had her finger on the side of the bag and one of them actually bit her or sliced her finger about a 3-4mm cut like a razor and it was bleeding, had water then leaking out of the hole and had to rush them into the tank, didnt realise they could do that...

mitzy Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Ouch Wonder if she will want to hold the bag again :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandysme Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 she was not impressed and what makes it worse is she is the only other one in the house that helps me with my tanks and loves them like me, everyone else couldnt care less...

David R Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Look at the large spine below the eye. I'm pretty sure yoyo loaches have a similar spine. I got pricked thru the net while transferring one of my new clown loaches, larger ones can inflict a nasty wound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Oh, David that is nasty looking. I never noticed that in pics of loaches before Sandysme, is your daughter's finger ok? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandysme Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 fine now, was a bit like a paper cut, band aid for a few days and its healed now, she hates the loaches now though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 only ever had one yo-yo loach as it harassed my other fish chronically.. will never get another one. sorry to hear bout the cut.. replace her bad experience with a good one.. eg the clown loach above.
