Intoxicated by all the loaches?!

Yup, spent most of my time in the loach isle!

David, You must be nearly 5'6"

ROFLMAO!
Nah i'm about 5' 10" or 11".

Great fish ya got and even better GREAT People yer with Cool

Yeah, Emma, Helen & Tom are lovely people!

Jim et al, you'll have to have a holiday to the UK sometime. Very Happy

I agree, i think you guys should all come over at the same time & take a lfs tour around the UK.

Thanks for the nice comments about the fish.
I got my camera out again because the nigros were out and about but as soon as i walked in with the camera they would be behind the background (You will see what i mean).
I managed one excellent shot IMO which i'm so chuffed about i put my name on it of a sinibotia pulchra.



And a few average shots and poor shots,

Sinibotia pulchra





You can see in the last pic what i mean about behind the background, it's a great 5'X2'X3" cave for loaches.

Garra cambodgiensis





Acanthocobitis zonalternans



I triad getting one of the unknown danios, it's the only shot i could get showing (If you look carefully) the pattern they have. They are incredibly hard to get shots of.



Couldn't resist a sneaky shot of my weather loach,



Cheers
David

Now the nigros are out shoaling with the rainbows, danios & devarios, how typical!

[mickthefish]

David your unknown danios look like a undiscribed sp, the sal;e name given is the panther danio bud, thats if i'm right.
if it is i was the first to spawn them in this country anyway, but i think it was the world as no other reports came in.

mick

[daspricey]

They were out of the same batch of these,

Which yeah you indicate that they are panther danios (TWO3), probably a regional variation. My males aren't quite as bright as that though, probably still settling in.
Congratz on being the first to spawn them, what method did you use?

David

[palaeodave]

That's a brilliant shot, quite right to put your name on it!
