Plopped 5 dwarf loaches in my 29G yesterday (after acclimating) and my otos (I have 4 in that tank) started schooling with them. How COOL is that?! Tried to take a picture but the results are, let's say, less than satisfactory, LOL.

OK, here are the two best pictures. You just see a blur on the 10000000 other ones.

I know in my 10 gallon, my otos school with my coolie loaches. Now that is messed up.

Is that what dwarf loaches are? I saw some in Petsmart the other day, but the tag on the tank only had their scientific name on it. I thought they were pretty cute, and would do well in my 56 when I set it up.

Wow! Serious? That is soooo cool, Tom.

Hi Joe. Yep, they're dwarf loaches. Cute, but I have to say am not impressed by their mission (they're supposed to eat my snails, and not doing a grand job of it). Their latin name is SUCH a mouthful (some Japanese-sounding name)

Give them a little while and you'll start finding empty snail shells laying around

Not really when you see your otos trying to get underneath the gravel to follow the loach.
