Title: Skunk Loaches... tough little fellas!
Post by: four_by_ken on March 15, 2013, 08:40:24 AM
Last night we put some new fish in the tank.  They were very small, so the existing fish were all worked up and chasing everything around.  Hopefully the new ones will survive.

Anyway... one of the little skunk loaches I picked up a week ago go a little to close to the mouth of the largest fish I have, a Livingstoni.
The little skunk put up one heck of a fight and ended up swimming off... go little loach!

They are tough and bold little critters.  They will also sometimes try to nip fins, so hopefully they don't get killed trying that.  :)
