[ccool]

Hi !

First of all i'm not very good in english...

I have try on other forum to identify my fish but without succes at this time.

At this link : http://www.aquabase.org/member/album/pi ... hp3?f=8322

The two first picture are the same fish of course and nobody can help me with certitude to identify them.

I think that it can be a Pangio oblonga.

Anyone can help me ?

*** please try to use simple wordas possible to help me to enderstand.

THanks a lot !

Hi,

Welcome. Tell us where you live. We have members from many countries, who speak many languages. Are you French?

I do not know the identities, so someone else will answer your question.

It looks like a pangio, but not an oblanga (The ones I have seen are a solid color, often brown). How big is it?

Hi ccool, and welcome to Loaches Online.

Do you have any more photographs of this loach? A larger close-up image would be really useful.

I am wondering if this is Pangio alcoides, given the white belly, dark dorsal surface and (I think) lack of bands. Do you know which country this fish was exported from?

Hi !

Thanks for your first comment.

I come From quebec, Canada. My first language are french. I already ask on other forum but i think that for this fifs it's better here because it's your speciality.

I don't have other picture but you can download this one with the link and make a better close up or i can send them by e-mail to someone.

This fish are not easy to picture because it's often under a rock.

It have about 2.5" long and 1/4" wide

I don't know more about it, it's a used aquarium that i buy last week with fish include.

I hope that this information can help to to identify it.

THanks again for your time !

I can't say what Pangio you have, but I have a very similar. Here is a pic of it.

It could be a Pangio superba, but I'm very unsure about that. Maybe it's only a color variation.

Or Emmy is right with Pangio alcoides, but I think that the transition between the colors is not so wavy at the P. alcoides. And P. alcoides hasn't a belt at the head. Or is it wrong?

Bye,

Thomas
