I never buy fish from Walmart because of the poor quality and selection. Yesterday I went to Walmart to buy a 10 G tank. And I found those hillstream loach! They are labelled as common pleco:)
I bought three of them. Id help please?

Nice find!!
Looks like it could be Psuedogastromyzon fangi.

Where is the Walmart that you found these?
You don't list your location on your profile.

Being that they are from Walmart, I would moniter their health closely.

Sure looks like Psuedogastromyzon fangi. I think i also see a blood streak in the dorsal fin and base.

Damage could of been with transportation. Monitor them!

yeah nice find! All the common plecos I saw at walmart were common. Looks like that one snuck into the bunch. I have a pleco from walmart and most of the time I agree that they don't take care of the fish. However, the only tank that appeared that they took care of the fish were the plecos. So I got one for a few dollars that was 5" and fat. The pleco looked very healthy along with the other 50 in the small tank but they all looked healthy.

It's walmart super center near Waukegan, IL.
There are around 20 hillstream loaches there, some died, some sick. I choosed the most healthy ones. They are in a quarantine tank now and doing OK so far.
