I'm getting used to my new camera, and trying to learn the programmable modes. I caught this pic tonight of my big ol' guy, Lao Tzu, loafin' around in the new grass - he's probably got quite a belly full, considering all the snails that came with the grass!! *lol*

Thanks! I love how he just rests in whatever plants... when he's not digging them up, anyway!! OY! But he (she?) can just hang practically in mid-"air" with just the smallest leaves to perch on. It's so cool.

Great pic and super looking loach. What type of loach is it?

It's a weather loach. I've had this fellow for more years than I can remember - I wanna say 5? So he's pretty good size. He's so much more animated and interesting in a warmer and planted tank (used to keep him with goldies). I'm so lucky that I get to redecorate this tank nearly every day! :evil_lol:

Great pic! I love that you "get to" redecorate almost every day, said like a true loach lover!
You can sex them by the size & shape of the pectoral fins, male longer & pointed & females shorter & more rounded.
