Hello everyone. On sunday, i went to my favorite fish store(ThatFishPlace) in Lancaster. I went their to get some more fish food. I went into the fish room and to my surprise they had 2 rare types of fish(well, at least to me). The had the Dwarf chained loach(Botia sidthimunki) for $5.99. What a deal! They had about 50 of them. This leads me to think that they are finally starting to be breed more easily in captivity. Is this true? I will get some around Christmas if they have them when i find a home for my Batik loaches(nippy towards my angel). They also had zebra ottoes at $9.99. not too cheap, but i would pay it.

nice find! especially the zebra ottos havent seen thoughs for awhile and they normally fetech a good price. the dwarf loachs are always a great find.

I paid $15 for my zebra otto. I actually got 2 but one died of starvation, I think. The tank they were in had almost no algae. I netted the survivor and plopped it in my other tank (I was upset, so I didn't even acclimate him), that had algae. He's been healthy and happy since then with my 3 regular ottos.

What a lucky find!

Well done if you visit several LFS often sooner or later you will pick up something different or hard to get.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Dwarf loaches are great and that's a fantastic price. IME they are more like yo-yos, into all levels of the tank rather than just the bottom and even surface feeding.

I never had them bother any of my other fish...sadly I no longer have this angel but this is one of my favorite pics:

i've never seen zebra otos around here, but we often have dwarf chain loaches in, though at a high price. both good finds and prices

Nice pic tm, how many dwarf chained loaches do you have?
