#loaches

Assorted pictures of my fish from as early as 2023-2024 and a shrimp

I fucking love fish, one of the most rewarding if expensive and frustrating at times hobby

Loaches have to be amongst my top 5 fishes, specifically kuhli loaches, i have around 13 assorted ones and they have n a m e s because they have unique patterns and as they get older they change a little which is fucking nuts

From the picture and some rambling about them;

I still have my kuhli loaches and one of the three gobies [not pictured here but one of my corys got some bacterial infection out of nowhere and several of my sensitive fish ended up passing from getting it], the golden one's dead though, shin'u was survived by four others [two of which i still have since i lost one during a move and transporting fish can be very stressful for them, the other passed recently; my last two are doing very well though]

Oh and one of my favorite, i think gecko lizard loach?? That's what i think i remember reading from when i got one as a gift; very sensitive but holy shit i loved the fellow, they swim about like fucking little lizards, carnivores though so they do need to be fed like meaty foods such as worms, i used to feed mine bloodworms which if you get frozen you need to be certain it wasn't contaminated or some other thing
