In Response To: Re: skunk loach (Iris)

I have also heard this about sidthimunki but to be honest have not seem them attempt to harm any other fish. The ones i have are far less bothersome than yo-yo's, striata's, rostrata's or clowns in this respect. Mine just swim in the current and fool around all day either alone or in a group. Apart from when they hearded the tetras which was just them swimming in amongst the shoal of tetras and taking it in turns to lead them from one part of tbe aquarium to another. There was no physical contact. Unfortunately most of the tetras died from mysterious causes i.e. no apparent reason which stopped this behaviour. I am very tempted to get another tetra shoal to re-enact this fun sight.
