Joey Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 They are gorgeous fish Bruce, when you do eventually find out the name make you let us know. Hhmmmm, I am wondering if they have them in Oz, you can never have too many loaches, just my opinion. I have 2 new tanks to fill and would to start with these beauties.

Bruce Posted November 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 That Looks Like The One!!!! Thank You Andrew :lol: /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 6, 2002 Report Share Posted November 6, 2002 I think he's right. I was looking at neomacheilus in my books but that particular one is not in them. It is certianly a beautiful fish - even with 2 heads and 2 tails :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 Nice loach. Indian huh? Nice site thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipdoan Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 not 100% sure but i think it is a 'Botia lohachata' or a Pakistani (YoYo) Loach. here: http://naturalaquariums.com/fish/blohachata.html i think that there maybe different colour identities for this loadch.

PWCottle Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Sorry, I dont think it is a nemacheilus species of loach. To me, it looks very similar to Acanthocobitis urophthalmus. If you refer to Baensch Photo Index 1-5, page 151 .2, you will see a picture of what appears to me to be the fish in the photograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajbroome Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Folks, Saw some 'in the flesh' while in Auckland and I stick with my original ID of (Meso)neomacheilus triangularis. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWCottle Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Andrew. A great advantage to actually see the fish 'in the flesh' Definitely helps. Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
