wow, saw these fish on youtube and was just amazed at how cool they were. Their color is just too cool and now i want some, but the only thing is that i dont know where
so my question is where could i get these panda garras?
 
They're becoming more and more available in fish stores. I saw them in two different fish stores in Connecticut in the last few weeks. If you have a good reliable fish store near you they would probably get some for you. The price varies, I guess...one place was selling them for $25 and the other for $12. They aren't inexpensive fish but they are nice. Here's a photo of the one that I have in my planted tank....

Very nice Avi! I'm planning to get some too. Franks aquarium has them but he's not shipping until it warms up. Graeme Robson over at loaches.com had his breed!
 
I have a panda. Don't stick them with large-bodied fish and you're bound to see some fantastic wacky antics. They love to scoot about around the bottom of the tank and when they eat, it's adorable. You can watch them and subtitle "nomnomnomnom" and it fits XD
 
They do like fast flowing waters. Funny thing my severums have gotten used to the powerful flow that I have no problem mixing my loaches and garras with them.

you see! i mean it just looks so COOL especially with the green blotches that contrasts with the black body--drools--and the tail is just amazing
 
What tank size would people recommend for these? and do they prefer a group?
