Loaches Online Forum

Hi all,

I'm looking to identify these two loaches I picked up today. They were sold under the name 'golden sand loach' but I can't find any common name like that online.

I'm sure they're two different species. I took a couple of pictures:

I think this may be Nemacheilus Pallidus:



This may be Schistura Kohchangensis:



If anyone sees this post and can verify, or offer another suggestion, that'd be great.

Thanks!
