Here are a couple of pics of the "Blue Loach Cats" that I have on hold at the lfs. I'm hoping someone will recognise them and please let me know what they really are.

They look like a Plectrochilus Erythrurus or a Vandellia sp. Catfish for sure! Don

Thanks Graeme...Definately looks like Plectrochilus Erythrurus to me, although it's still hard to tell...not a lot of info that I can find...although I did find that it's a relative of Candiru...I used to have nightmares about those things as a kid. ...I'll post in the Cat Fish section, see if anyone has any info on these guys.
