It´s a Botia. I think Botia lohagatha, but you could look through the pictures on this site.
If I´m correct, a yoyo is a Misgurnus - a way other fish. Almost all rules about how to take care of them are different. Again, this site has all the info.

Re: Panda Garras and Water Conditions
What Nancy wrote is true, but there is more. life is Chemistry, and Chemistry goes faster when the temperature is higher. In fact, life goes twice as fast for each 3 C, which is around 5 F. So, while I still have no clue what species Panda Garra is, and I most certainaly don´t have any experience wi...

Re: Panda Garras and Water Conditions
That would be Pterogoblichthys gibbyceps. No hard to find where gibby comes from.

Re: Panda Garras and Water Conditions
When I got my gibbies, in 2003, they meassured around 6 cm. After a year it was 17 cm, and by that time they lost their shyness.
Now they are half a meter. That´s 20 inches. They do grow large, but are also beautifull

Re: Nitrate poisoning or.?
Assuming your nitrate levels are both accurate en remain as they are, don't be afraid of nitrate poisoning.
This would only happen above 50 mg/l

Re: Steel Framing
I know tha advantages of having a little company myself
I can imagine on an Island prices can be quite different - what's produced locally, even though much more expensive elsewhere, can be the best solution.

Re: How old are pakistans?
Chances I know what you are after are slim. But I have not a clue what your Pakistans are. Fishes have names, and as this is an international forum, please be so kind as to use the International name. That is, the Latin one.
Then everybdoy will understand your question, and be able to help you.

Re: HELP! Pros and Cons of filter compartment at the back of the tank?
In my eyes the big advantage is that no water will leave the tank. hoses can become unstuck, after all. An internal filter can be placed along one of the side walls, or along the back. What's best? That depends. It might sound odd, but fish also need some privacy, and that translates into a tank nee...

Re: Weather loach tankmates
Weather loaches come from nortern, quiet, waters. They can breath air, because the water can be poor in oxygen. That is, the water can be very filthy. Sewellia come from fast moving waters, very clean, very rich in oxygen, that is saturated in oxygen. Perhaps the temperatures pH and hardness of thei...

Re: PH Problem (too alkaline)
Some things are not very beautifull to me. Such as a castle under water - but hey, if you like it, never mind Still, such a castle could contain calcium. But that is the only serious thing I would mention about it, your decoration looks to me as if it could harden your water. But than, I'm not a geo...

Re: PH Problem (too alkaline)
Kuhlis come from the warm, swampy areas downstream. If you try to imagine such an area, it is very rich in cecaying plant material - stuff which maked the water acidic. I wonder whether they can adapt to pH = 8, and if they manage, it will cost tem enormously. Think of reducing their lifespan by hal...

Re: PH Problem (too alkaline)
I think Nancy is right assuming it must be something else, but this could rather easily be tested. If you take a bucket, drill some hoes in the bottom and fill it with peat, you have the perfect preparator for your water. By allowing water to go through this bucket, it will lower it´s pH and might e...
