When I picked up the live food for the Pandas today, there was a surprise in one of the aquaria at my LFS.

Horsefaced Loaches. Which I know as Acanthopsis chiororhynchus. And, they're only £2.25 each too.

Only trouble is they grow big. As in around 10 inches. Which means they're sadly not a candidate for the Panda Fun Palace™ as yet. But, give me time ...

Oh, and the ones I saw had the 'bend' in the nose that makes them true Horsefaces.

Here's the Loaches.com page on them.

Awesome! Hopefully you can get one someday! They grow fast, well ours did, and really fat! Funny to see them with the head poking out of the substrate when they burrow in it! Now I want the mooseface loach I saw at the LFS..cool looking guy!
