What Do You Know About The 'borneo Sucker'

[mike_nofx]

Does anyone know anything about the above mentioned fish?

What family does it belong to? Is it a loach, a cat... or what?

Cant seem to find much useful info on it. It is a very unusual fish, kinda looks like a catfish which sucks from the mouth AND belly....

any help would be great! Thanks!

They are loaches. Require a river setup to thrive, with fast currents, cool water, plenty of algae.

Family: Balitoridae (River loaches)
subfamily: Balitorinae
Order: Cypriniformes (carps)
Class: Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes)

Try googling hillstream loach and you'll find a lot more information.
