Hi All,

I just wanted to recommend a dwarf loach that I've had in one of my tanks for about 6 months now. I got 3 of these from aquarium center awhile back, and have really enjoyed them. They stay small, don't touch the plants, and are qutie entertaining. When I first put them in, I rarely saw them, but after about a month, they're always racing around the tank. They're much more active than any other botia that I've kept. Also, they've been great to keep my snails in check. (Don't keep with shrimp, they'll happily rip them to shreds)

Anyways, if I happen to see these guys again, I think I'll snatch up 3-4 more to make a decent sized shoal of them.
