Thank you for letting me present "Loaches" today.
If you have any questions or want the notes from today, send me a PM with your email address.

Good luck to Gabe with the Negro Lineatus dwarf loaches and to Xander with the Striata loaches.
Post a photo of them in your tank a few weeks form now

To the winners of loaches today:

I forgot to mention that the loaches that I gave away today have been in quarantine since April so they are good to go into your aquariums

[Xander]

Thank you for coming out, I couldn't be a more pleased loachaphile as I am today~

I drip-acclimated the Striatas and they've been busy exploring the caves and driftwood, and causing a stir among the kuhlis all day. Displaced the larger kuhlis from their favourite hangout under the sponge filter!
I temporarily relocated the shrimp that I had in that tank too, until the zebras can go to the 75g.

I'll definitely give you the occasional progress report!

Thanks Zenins. It was a very interesting talk on Loaches, also great pictures and video. I managed to catch the Yoyo,s and they are all together now in the same tank.

I have presented it to the Chatham, Sarnia and London clubs already, so maybe someday I will present it at one of the Detroit club meetings

Thank you Zenins for the donations! The presentation was great, and there was something new for you too with the laptop not cooperating 100%.

One of the Negro Lineatus has a really interesting pattern! It looks like it has circles of lighter colour above the black line. They are enjoying their new home. They took up residence under a driftwood and if they are out they go flying through the 20 gal long tank they are in. Very fast swimmers, you must had a hard time caching them!

Yeah, when I got home, the laptop setup said I had only one screen, but when I was presenting it said I had two ... I think the projector somehow made the laptop think there were two screens ?
Anyways, I was able to do my presentation  

Regarding the circles above the black line on the Lineatus, it could be the related dwarf chain loach that I showed in the presentation.
Both species look very similar when small, they will swim happily together, enjoy them

If you ever see either in a fish store, buy at least 3 more, they are most fun when in a large group.  I have 9 dwarf chain loaches in a 30 gallon and 6 lineatus in a 25 gallon ... constant action
