BOTIA PEPPERED LOACH regular

LOACH BOTIA PEPPERED REGULAR Cobitis taenia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Spined Loach Conservation status Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Order: Cypriniformes Family: Cobitidae Genus: Cobitis Species: C. taenia Binomial name Cobitis taeniaLinnaeus, 1758 The Spined Loach (Cobitis taenia) is a common freshwater fish in Europe and Asia. It is sometimes known as spotted weather loach, not to be confused with the "typical" weather loaches of the genus Misgurnus. This is the type species of the spiny loach genus (Cobitis) and the true loach family (Cobitidae). Description The Spined Loach typically reaches an adult length of 8–10 cm, although females may grow up to 12 cm. Adults weigh between 20–60 g. Their backs feature a yellow-brown colouring interspersed with many small grey or brown scales on the spinal ridge. The scales on the belly are pale yellow or orange. The body overall is long and thin. There are 6 barbels around the mouth. Under the eyes there is a two-pointed spike, with which the fishes can inflict a painful sting. Distribution and relationships It is found from Siberia to Spain. Generally it occurs across much of temperate Eurasia north of the Alpide belt, with the exceptions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and northern Scandinavia. Some population are also found just south of the Alpides, and at the eastern end of its range it reaches China. Populations of southwestern Europe were formerly included in this species, but actually represent distinct branches of Cobitis. A member of subgenus Cobitis, close relatives of the Spined Loach are C. elongatoides, C. fahirae, C. tanaitica or C. vardarensis which replace it in northern Greece, much of Romania, and western Turkey.[1] Ecology and behaviour Clear oxygen-rich water is preferred by the spined loach, be it slowly flowing brooks, rivers or still water. They are found near flat and sandy or stony areas, frequently in large numbers. The spined loach is often kept as an ornamental fish in aquaria. During the day, they bury themselves in the bed of the body of water, leaving only the head and tail exposed. At night, when the loach is most active, sand on the riverbed is consumed, and with it small animals and other organic material. Sand, stripped of nutrients, is ejected through the gills. This process must continue all night for the fish to get enough calories to survive. Spined loaches possess the ability of intestinal breathing. This stop-gap measure sustains the spined loach when the water around it is oxygen-poor. At the water's surface swallowed air brings oxygen into theintestine. The expended air is expelled through the anus. The spawning season is from April to June. The females produce between 300 and 1,500 eggs close to the ground: on stones, roots or plants. The eggs are then fertilized by the males. The larvae hatch in 4 to 6 days. The spined loach's lifespan is between 3 and 5 years, with the maximum reached in captivity being 10 years.

Q.  How are the fish  shipped? A.  They are bagged in plastic bags and clean water with a product to control ammonia levels.  They are then boxed in a Styrofoam insulated box and heat packs or cold packs are used if weather conditions warrant.  They are then shipped via FedEx Express to the home or business address requested. Q.  How much does shipping cost? A.  For orders over $50 the shipping is discounted to $36.95 for FedEx Express. For orders over $325 the shipping is free. For smaller orders under $50 the rate is $44.95. FedEx express is the preferred method of shipment and has 100% warranty. Bluegrass Aquatics guarantees live arrival on all packages shipped   Q.  When will I receive my fish after placing my order?   A.  Most orders are shipped 2-5 business days after they are ordered.  Some orders that include odd balls and or saltwater fish may requires a couple of extra days to acquire and prepare fish for shipment since they are wild caught imports from a local distributor.  Most of the cichlids listed on the site are in inventory and can be shipped within one to three business days.  If you have a preferred date of arrival select that on the delivery calender provided or include that information and the order number in an email to: eddie@bluegrassaquatics.com.  We will let you know if we have to delay or reschedule for weather or product availability.   Q.   Where are you located?    A.  Bluegrass Aquatics headquarters are in Louisville Ky.   Most of the fish are shipped direct to the customers door from the Florida facility in Riverview near Tampa.     Q.   What is the guarantee on live arrival?   A.   Bluegrass Aquatics guarantees live arrival on all packages shipped. We cannot guarantee live arrival of packages that are not received on time due to carrier delay, whether it is due to weather conditions or failure to pick up or receive fish within two hours of arrival. We will, however, do our best to resolve any problems or question you may have. It is our goal to help you keep your fish alive and healthy. "Live arrival" is defined by Bluegrass Aquatics as follows: upon opening the box and inspecting your new arrivals, the fish are all swimming and appear to be in good order. In other words, they are not floating upside down dead. If you receive fish that do not meet these standards, it is the customers responsibility to take digital pictures of the fish and email them to us within two (2) hours of receiving the fish. The digital pictures of your DOA fish should be taken while the fish is in the unopened bag or with the tails clip off if discovered after opening the bag. We also encourage you to call or email us once you receive your fish to confirm their safe arrival within 2 hours, particularly if any abnormal conditions or extreme stress of the fish are involved. In the case of a DOA of a guaranteed fish, a credit will be issued. We do not refund the cash value of the fish or the cost of shipping. In the event of total loss (80% or more) of a FedEx overnight shipment, a new order will be shipped at no cost to the customer or a credit for the total order including the shipping cost will be credit to the next order.   Q.   How do I acclimate the fish? Simply float in bag in the tank to adjust the temperature, then introduce the fish only into tank without any of the bag water.Ôªø The Drip Method is recommended only for saltwater fish and invertebrates Q.   What size are the fish?   A.   The size is listed under thei size tab found on the product description page of each fish.  Most of the cichlids are sold as small fish 1.25 to 2.5 inches in size.  The small size allows us to offer a wide variety of species and a low cost and economical shipping rates..  when we have large size they will be listed in the drop down menu in the product description page or listed as Medium, Large, Adult etc..
