This is one of my mates fish, they were sold as tiger loaches! I first thought they were mehnerti but the caudal fin colour is wrong. Any ideas, i think i've looked through all the schisturas on the main site, is it even a schistura?

Thanks for any help
David

David it is a schistura i'm sure of that, but it's not in the best of condition.
it could be a mahnerti and the colour could come back when your mates had it for a while.

As i mention mahnetri sprung to mind but got put of by the caudal fin.
