EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the Victorian era of 1865, showcases a charming assemblage of three distinct freshwater fish species: the Minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), also known as the Minnow, Pink Minnow, or Minnis; the Loach or Stone Loach (Barbatula barbatula); and the Spined Loach (Cobitis taenia). The image offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 1860s, providing a historical record of these beautiful aquatic creatures. The Minnow, a small, slender fish with a pinkish hue and distinctive black lateral stripe, is a common species found in Europe and Asia. Its vibrant coloration and agile movements make it a popular sight in freshwater habitats. The Loach, or Stone Loach, can be identified by its yellowish-brown coloration, with darker spots and bars covering its body. This bottom-dwelling fish is well-adapted to living in fast-flowing streams and rivers, where it can be found hiding among rocks and gravel. The Spined Loach, with its elongated body and distinctive spines along its dorsal and pectoral fins, is a less common sight in European waters. Its yellowish-brown coloration is marked with darker spots and bars, making it an intriguing addition to this collection of freshwater fish. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the rich biodiversity of Europe's freshwater ecosystems during the Victorian era but also offers a captivating glimpse into the natural history of these three fascinating fish species.
