Saw a mislabled loach at the LFS, bought him. Need help w/id
Hi there.
I tried looking through the picture guide but no luck. Maybe I just don't know what I am looking for.
Anway, your help is much appreciated!

B. histrionica, B. rostrata, B. almorhae, and B. kubotai all look relatively similar when they are quite small. How big is this loach? Given that the bands extend onto the caudal fin, I'd say B. histrionica, but that is a guess.
If the loach is still small (I assume it is), then it may be a game of wait and see.

Your vantage point determines what you can see.

The colors should brighten up once he settles in. Let him get comfortable and then you'll have a better idea. Even then, though, it's a crap shoot until he/she get's a bit older.
Do you have any other similar species or is he the lone botia?
