boban_nz Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 No I didn't. I have had the camera for quite awhile now photographing fish but I just never posted the pictures on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamboy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Never seen before,Looks something like 'Tiger loaches' which can grow upto 18cm or so & are real tuff & can certainly handle big cichlids,but havn't seen them for a while either. Anyone seen these for sle in NZ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 *smacks forehead* How big is it? I don't recall ever seeing them for sale here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 That is a beautiful fish. Are they expensive? (i.e. more expensive than normal CL's?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Nice, did you purchase it recently? A decent group of them would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boban_nz Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yes the fish are in NZ and for sale. Price, ask your LFS, different pet stores different price. CL's was a good guess. The Loach is about 10-11 cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
