its about 2 1/2 inches long at the mo but a lot lighter in colour than the queen botia. (sorry about the poor photo)its a bit hard to pin him down,everything is 300 mph with him,he's a pale brown with 13 olive stripes,dont know if its somthing like a tiger loach.

I hope you dont mind, I did some work on the white balance on the pic, I hope this colour is more accurate.
Anyway, Loaches arent really my thing, so I cant help!

Good Luck,

Ken

I really think it's a Banded Loach Botia hymenophysa. I say this because of the number of stripes is 11 or more; characteristic to the Banded Loach.

If I'm wrong, it is defiantly in the Botia family. :thumbs:

I have the banded botia down as Botia helodes and I believe it might be this fish
