Mystery Loach

[Wendie]

Remember my little guy that came in with the Rosy Loaches... he hitchiked in a filter to another tank so he rules the tank by himself now. He's grown into a slim long bodied guy about 2 to 3 times the size of the Rosy Loaches.

Now that's interesting. Not seen one like that before.

He started out looking quite a bit like a female rosy but was still different. He's developed into this little chap. I would say 1 1/4 inches in length to 1 1/2 inch and as big around as a bic pen.

He's in a tank with two plecos, a betta and 13 green neons which he is constantly chasing. He spends his time resting under the filter out take or on top of the wood. There's a cervice in the wood and that's where he hides out when he wants to. He is constantly out and about in the tank.

I think it looks like this one here:

But it reminded me of a zipper loach, which is probably way wrong lol

He looks somewhat like that but size wise he's no where near the size they get. I think he's just about full grown to be truthful.
