Please ID this loach?

[SeaGoat108]

Hello!

My mother and her husband recently bought a 100 gallon aquarium with a large pleco and some kind of loach. I am absolutely in love with the loach and would like to get one for my own aquarium. I have been unsuccessful in identifying the species on my own though.

Please, please, please help me out?

It looks like b. almorhae to me? See what others think???

[JonasBygdemo]

I agree, looks like b. almorhae.

Thank you so much! I'm looking them up on google images, definitely looks like him. I think I'll urge my mother to get a couple more and keep them in the twenty gallon until they mature a bit. Don't want the oscar to get his mouth around the little ones!

Oscars can be a bit hungry, so that's probably a good idea

Here are a few pics of the tank!


The whole setup with all of the supplies underneath.



Here's a closer shot of the tank itself. You can see the oscar and a pleco.

I wonder - are B. Almorhae and B. Lohachata the same species?

LOL well I hope someone keeps ole Oscar feed or he might take a nibble or two. I have had several Oscars and the only thing they never messed with was a pleco.
