Thank you! I actually posted a post asking about Korean loaches here:

But you answered my question! You live in Japan; were the fish collected from Korea?
Thanks,
Edmond

Your pictures are always very interesting, and make me want more Loaches. That first one is very showy!

Wonderful as always odyssey, thanks for sharing! Pity they're not available here in the states. They're beautiful! How's their behavior? Similar to Khuli loaches??

Hi all!
Thanks for a lot of replies.
Everybody enjoys those pictures, and I am glad, too.
I got by two of them each.
The arrival of the fish from Korea seemed to be extremely rare so far.
However, various Korean fish classes were imported to Japan, and it was sold this month in much aqua shops.
I am not sure whether there is the arrival constantly after this.
It is only a lateral stripe design to be similar, and the habit is considerably different from Khuli loache.
They are not shy like Khuli.
Because they come out to the place that opened out, it is easy to take their picture.
A loach of the genus same as Niwaella multifasciata inhabits Japan.
Japanese Niwaella delicata eats an adhesion alga mainly, but likes the bloodworm,too.
Korean Niwaella multifasciata eats an adhesion alga equally, too and likes the bloodworm.
I show the following links for the people who are interested in a Korean freshwater fish.

Hi Odyssey , those links you posted are brilliant , a couple of years ago I asked if anyone had ever seen let alone kept the Korean Dace, [Coreoleuciscus splendidus] I notice there are a few picks on one of the links you posted
did these arrive on the shipment
I'd love to get a group of these
I think the Korean freshwater fishes are really beautiful
