Loaches Online Forum

Hi I brought this loach from my local fish store in a tank of botai darios not shore what kind of loach any help will be much appreciated.

I dont see a pic.

You are not alone with this problem.

It is the Glass Loach, nearest relative are the Glass Cats, and Indian Glass fish.

Actually, if you go to the Main Site, and look up the species there is often a note about what other species look similar. There is also info about how certain species change as they mature. For example, here is the page about Botia dario:
