Introduction and loach ID question

Post by steamboatpilot » Wed Jun 15, 2016 3:50 pm

HI,

I am new here and wanted to say HI. I also have a loach ID question. I have a 210 gallon tank with fish from Burma. My original plan included Inle loaches but they have proven difficult to find. I settled on Rosy loaches instead. I have one Rosy which I think may not be a Rosy and one that I am pretty sure is an Inle loach.

Pretty sure this one is an Inle

Here is the mystery fish next to a Rosy
