Dead? Aww... They are so cute... They look khuli-ish to me...
The dorsal pattern looks like my khuli @ office...
Sorry for the poor pic quality. Taken with HP and with reflection...
Hi guys,
Got a loach the other day an I'm not quite sure what it is...
Some close up pictures..
Head shot
Caudal fin
Dorsal fin
Body markings
These fellows are obviously substrate diggers
It was about 4 to 5 cm long (obviously died in my hands) . Any ideas?
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

check out those 2 anterior dorsal gold dots!!! OMG!! SO PRETTY!!
When benny told me they up the lorry... that night i all of a sudden no mood go supper liao..
It's Schistura pridii from Thailand, I think Nonn has an excellent field report on this little loach.
I saw this fish here too, but i didn't bring camera on that day.
Certainly looks like it! Described in May 2003. Wonder why it's priced so high in Hong Kong. How much is it retailing in Guangzhou?Originally Posted by MrTree
Looks like it's best with a black background. More contrast. Shame about loosing it so quickly. Otherwise, I would love to get a few more pictures.Originally Posted by [url=http://www.loaches.com/species_pages/schistura_pridii.html]www.loaches.com[/url]
www.mimbon.de seems to be exporting this fish recently too...
Oh well, I'm sure we'll see the fish again sometime.

wah...50 bucks per pair?!? *faintz*
but so pretty haa...
any clues to why they died?
avant, thats cheap, in the UK the price is approx S$ 120 each.
it makes me want to weep at our prices.
mick
S$120 each for the ones shown??
i'm glad i'm buying fish here. i don't reckon i can support my aquarium on my own if i'm there. i guess it's the export fees that contribute to the high prices.
we also pay tax thats already in the price, our government likes to get money of it's people any way they can. haha
Oh my goodness!! And our folks here complain about the cost of fish keeping.......Originally Posted by mickthefish

haa.. your government must be very supportive of the aquarium industry! look at the amount of taxes they are reaping! haa..Originally Posted by mickthefish
do note that this fish comes from cold mountain streams north of Chiang Mai, and are hard to maintain. Also they are rare and probably very endangered. In fact they mostly occur from protected nature zones.
Benny, start feeling guilty
