Kinda look like Kubotai (Polka Dot, Burmese Border Loach, Angelicus)
except they are from Myanmar (Burma)

When mine were young, they had a lot more white on them like yours do.
However as they got older, more black formed and there was less white on the body ...

Hi Zenins they do kinda look a bit like Kubotai, but much lighter in colour ,also they are from India ,and more likely to be part of the Rostrata complex ?

They sometimes have a reddish tint in certain light

very nice lookers these !

I'd say they are most likely rostrata, looking at the darker areas, they seem to be more like a paired stripe like the usual Rostrata pattern than the bulky darker areas that kubotai have..

I'd put good money on them being B.rostrata.

Hi guys , I think they are rostrata real .
It seems a little bit of a waste of time uploading the photos here
No one seems interested unless its clown loach or Khulis

I looked at the super large pics on the site and it just confirms the ID for me.. I'll have to pop in sometime soon and have a gander at the new fish...
