I saw some scarlet loaches yesterday at an lfs, are they dyed or not?
really nice looking fish, might get 2 if they are not dyed

I've never heard of a scarlet loach before. Here's a link to a loach site, maybe you can tell us which one it is?

Expensive sushi, even for fish lol, I mean that's R28 a day on fish food, thats what it costs me for a month of tetra flakes/pellets
