I doubt the feeling is mutual, but it is definitely reassuring for me as a young grasshopper that someone else is coming up with similar genus fish, Wills!

Ok, couple of possibles I've found so far...
http/www.loaches.com/species-index/homaloptera-orthogoniata
http/www.loaches.com/species-index/homaloptera-bilineata

Got to admit it defently looking like it is along them lines if the Homaloptera orthogoniata did not have red fins that would have been it

Yup H.Confuzona is deffently it got no doubt about it. Thanks ever so much

haha seriously dont put your self down youve got such a good level of knowledge on you now I wouldnt hesitate to take advice from you. And to reveal my secrets on how I did it - I remembered loaches.com had an ID guide followed the guide through the pics found one that was close then googled the family to get a list up and found H.Confuzona with the clear fins

Glad I could help though Wrighty, I reckon that would mean that your loaches are wild caught and H.Confuzona comes from the same place and this guy just got caught up in the nets and made it across if he is growing well it sounds like you have done well as the guides say they are quite squishy when first imported Well done

Yours looks a lovely marbled fish, wrighty!

Is your setup currently upto supporting this guy long term, as in have you got a lowish temp (<25.5C), but more importantly high current to give the high oxygen needs of the "hillstreams?"

I've currently got Panda Garras and Indian Red Tail Squirrel Loaches (latter still in QT) and have been looking into the idea of adding a mix of hillstream species that my LFS of choice (Aquajardin) have in stock.

I run my tank at 25 to 26 after doing a little reading though look like i gonna have to do a rethink as i do have a powerhead moving water and a external filter but dont think it is enough for this guy
