I would like some sort of loach please

You get an Italian Spined Loach

Cobitis bilineata

The loach is complete... I don't even want to talk about the problems I had with glazing. It's too much. The little guy is done and that's what matters!!

Weather loaches - Misgurnus anguillicaudatus

Requested by anon

(The little 'staches on their little faces!!! 🥰)

They are weather forecasters!

They breathe primarily through their gills and secondarily from the surface.

They use this second technique when the oxygen is low due to changes in the atmospheric pressure, usually when bad weather is approaching.

See? Weather forecasters!!

This behavior is not seen on aquariums because they are cleaner and better oxygenated.

They live on ponds with muddy, stagnant water that tend to be low on oxygen and eat worms, small crustaceans and aquatic bugs.

LOOK AT THEIR MOUSTACHES!!! 🗣
