Cobitis sp.
today I've seen my first Cobitis loaches in real live. I know them only from pictures, till this evening I dont know wich species is it, i could imagine that they were from japan or china. They weren't on the bill from the wholesaler, so I've no hints what species this could be. But I think china/japan could be right, but who knows
The first pics:
lovely chaps!

Be warned it's a large PDF, it also has lots of other thing related to cobitis.

Thanks for your replies!
Hi David,
I dont believe that this is C. taenia, the nearly solid line over the blotches I have never seen at C. taenia pictures.
At some fishes merge the blotches nearly to a thicker line. You can see what I mean here:
Many thanks for the PDF, much to read
BTW: One female looks very thick...
Maybe a normal thick cobitis-female or an "eggs-inside-thick" female? I'm not sure.
Bye,
Thomas
