Hi, I had bought this fish off a mate about 8 months ago, he and I have had no idea what it is, it was very small when I got it off him now its about 8'' long, it has the mouth wiskers of a corydora and the body of some sort of Eel/Snake, Any idea what type of fish this is? I know the picture is bad quality but you can kinda see what it is like, Thanks

Looks a bit like the Xanthic form of a weather loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudus), but a clearer pic would help, because it would be easier to count the barbels. I believe weather loaches usually have 6 surrounding the mouth, and another on the lower jaw

Golden Dojo Loach or Weather Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus). Grows to between 9-10". Nice specimen.

Thanks for the replies guys, I have just google loaches and it seems similar to ones on internet but mine has more a longer face/snout/mouth mine has more of a horses face aha, and I will post clearer pics when I am able to just to clarify what it really is, once again thanks guys

I concur with the 2 experts, weather loach.

Looks like a near obese Dojo or Weather Loach
