    looks like some kind of Schistura, this 4-inch bugger tried to swallow the carcass of a Pangio and choked to death.


    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.

    It doesn't look dead...did you manage to photograph it just before it died? Or did you choke it to death to take a picture.

    At least you can set up the picture to your liking, including the background. Nice one.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    dead already. I pulled the pangio from the mouth and it was bleeding from the right gills, that's why it is posing with the left side

    looks alive? maybe I can get a job as a mortician

    this is Schistura spilota endemic to the upper Mae Ping drainage of Thailand.

    So this loach tried to eat another loach? Hmmm... I've always though of them to be good community fishes.
