 | Can you identify this loach? |
tomsouthall   Enthusiast Posts: 286 Kudos: 470 Votes: 13 Registered: 18-Jan-2004   | I purchased two of these loaches yesterday, labelled lizard loach but could not find any info about them on the internet. Could they be Batic loach? (Neomacheilus triangularis). Does anyone have any experiences on these fish? Thanks for your help. tomsouthall attached this image:  Last edited by tomsouthall at 24-Mar-2005 15:57[/font][/font] |

In my experience, when kept singly, S. similis and related species are markedly aggressive towards cohabitants, incessently nipping fins and consuming juvenile fish outright. I don't know whether the presence of conspecifics would mute these tendencies. Last edited by Veneer at 25-Mar-2005 13:18 |
