Anyone own any burma border loaches?

I was wondering anyone had any and their experience with them. I see them 3@45.00 on aquabid. I was thinking of some of these guys or more zebra loaches. I'm really liking them, they are very entertaining.

I keep a group. Very nice fish but not much different than any of the more common small Botia loaches IME. But if you're looking for something a little less common, go for it!

Supposedly my local Petsmart carries them, but when I saw what they were calling burma border loaches, they aren't. I'll wait for the price to go down. The Wet Spot wants like 45.00 for 3 of them.

Have you had the chance to get more loaches? I've seen and purchased the one from aquabid seller. It's from a popular lfs in Portland and all my loach purchases are walk ins. I've also bought several from Petsmart. Their stock is seasonal and call them polka dot loaches I believe - $5.95 each, but they're smaller.
