Loaches Online Forum

Hi all
Rescued the last 2 of these, just need to know the Latin name so I can research them. Tried picture search on this site, but nothing like it really

Appreciate the help and I can then give them the best conditions for a long life

not the slightest idea, but these dudes look really cool! Think they're a loach?

They have barbels if that’s anything to go by

Can´t help you, but please do try and overfeed them for a while, they are skinny.

Closest I can come is something like this:

I was going to suggest niwaella too & agree they need extra foods. Handsome fish, good luck!

Yeah I know, got frozen 2 types of mosquito larvae, tubifex and bloodworm. So hopefully they’ll fatten up
