ThomasParticipantHappy birthday Mick!
ThomasParticipantYes, another group of this species are outside in my mothers garden at 5°C at the moment. I have too much of them, so one group (8) is in my tank, and one group (10) is in a cement bucket (ø 60cm). Both works fine.
ThomasParticipantHere is a pic with the complete loaches.
ThomasParticipantAs I know the “german” Cobitis spawns only one times a year – late spring early summer. The spawning happens in shallow water.
My idea is to wait a few days (or weeks) and then beginning to reduce the water level and start to heat the tank a little bit.
Another idea is: Do nothing and hoping for the best…

ThomasParticipantYes, not many, 4 males against 14 females
ThomasParticipantAll the best, Matt! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!
Cheers
Thomas

ThomasParticipantI will ask a bit around, maybe we get some info.
ThomasParticipantsmithi and tweediei. Till last year I’ve had one cf. yunnanensis. Some years ago I’ve kept confuzona (I think) and zollingeri.
ThomasParticipantWe got. HH says it looks like P. shelfordii to him, but the shelfordii I have kept a few times ago looks not so similar.
But I don’t know how widespread and variabel P. shelfordii really is. At least I would say you are right with the shelfordii group. That’s great
ThomasParticipantSounds good, but I have no idea. There are so much Pangios I have never seen
ThomasParticipantQUOTESaw some nice Cobitis sp. on sale here yesterday, miss my tanks. dry.gif
Without any name?
ThomasParticipant
ThomasParticipantTwo other pics. Two other pics. The one in the front looks a bit similar to this: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/pangio-alternans
This looks more similar to the one in the first post:
ThomasParticipantYes Matt, the two from china are possibly undescribed. I don’t find a chinese cobitis that match with mine. Compared with C. macrostigma, arenae, granoei, dolichorhynchus, melanoleuca, lutheri, sinensis and rarus. The first come in trade as C. chinensis (not valid and no synonym), the second comes with the chinensis as blind passenger.
