An odd new species of Indonesian shark, this rough-skinned fish is adorable and can “walk!” As seen by some .gifs below. It was discovered in 2013.
2. Panda loach (Yaoshania pachychilus)
Panda loaches are uncommon fish that can sometimes be seen in pet stores fetching high prices. I once was walking through a pet shop and saw one for, if I can remember correctly, $98.43! They’re small, manageable, unaggressive, and easy to keep, so it’s no wonder a lot of people want them. The young loaches are a striking ebony black with ivory white splashes, and the adults have a faded, brown color, which is rather depressing if you stop and think about it.
(The picture below has some loaches and some red shrimp. The last picture is of an adult.)
3. Panda nibble fish (Discognathichthys flavatra)
The panda nibble fish is a gray fish with dark chocolate stripes and, in the breeding season, red fins. It’s a lovely addition to a small “nano” aquarium, maybe with a few panda loaches, hint-hint. Below are a few photos.
