In Response To: Yellow Tailed Loach......dontcha hate them common names? (Martin Thoene)

Martin, do you have any clue as to the identity of the yellow-finned loaches you saw in your lfs? My yellow tailed loach (lecontei?) is pretty thin. He still has the basic body shape of the modesta but not nearly as full bodied. I'm hoping he is lecontei but I guess I will never know for sure. He looks just like the pictures for lecontei and he's not very shy. Is that a lecontei trait. He comes out in the open even during the day. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanx, Vicky
