    The Hartebeespoort Aquarium(that sucks really.... ) has a shoal of about 12 in a "South East Asian" tank.... 3 or 4 of the females are MONSTERS...biggest one must be pushing 35cm....

    They click when they're happy or mating. So You'll be hearing it a lot

    @Ruan just watched the clip will have to get my hands on some frozen worm asap, problem is prefer thawing the worms out and throwing excess water away. Will try some cooked zucchini.

    Feedback from previous owner he only had the loach for about 3 years and was feeding it on marltons pellets and blood worm.

    Previous owner had a big net, me i left him in the bucket and drained water from my tank into the bucket for over a hour using a airline to equalize temp and water conditions, i used a big bag to catch him and transferred him over.
    The first thing the Fiance said is, i thought you getting another loach what you doing with that gold fish. LOL :)
