Thanks Gamer they are not SAEs though they do look like them.
Thanks again Ichthys. Yes they do look a lot like them but I actually now have some Y. cruciatus, or at least I think so after complaining to the shop they agreed to send me 7 of the ones I ordered but actually sent a mix of loaches again so I now have what seems like three species but not the original ones I wanted which were petruichthys sp rosy. I have the room for them and when I put them together they all get on much like different Cory species. I still would ideally have a shoal of each species as they all behave differently and know their own kind, they seem fine with the water and other fish I have and are eating lots and are very active.
The pic of the pair is probably Y cruciatus and the single one is probably Y brevis.
Anyway thanks I guess I need a loach enthusiast.
