very nice locah. I brighted him up a bit!!!

Thanks Graeme, I was told that they wern't catagorised! Obviously they are. I got these direct from Thiland from a mate who was there on hols. 2 weeks ago. He told me that they went on a boat trip and were able to fish them up from a net.
Thanks Tanked, looks a lot clearer. Now I know what they are.

great loach how big does it grow??

Must of been on the Kwai river next to the Burma boarder (north end Maymar area). That's were most are being found lately. Or is there a new findings? Please tell!! My friend in Thailand will be most pleased. Not 100% know as B Angelicus but every loach breeder and keepers like me are calling them this or any of the above words from where it's found.

Copy cat Dragon. I got 3 a couple of weeks ago (got a pici in mems aquarium pics) I was told a very similar story to yours - about them not yet being named, but Graeme came to the rescue and told me what they are.

the angelicus gets to be about 4 inches long. they're beautiful fish...and pricey too! i've seen them average about $30 USA each!

 

[Dragonslair]

I don't know exactly where he got them from Graeme, but I will ask for you.
Nah,nah nahnahnah! gadzobe. I'll get my own back, just you wait Henry Higgins, just you wait!!!
