I swear this is the first clown loach i have ever bought...

[Aussienative]

By the way, see this thread. All pics shown are those of wild-caught specimens. It's interesting to know how many loaches in the wild have this kind of genetic defect.

One man's deformed cull that sat in a LFS for months, unable to be sold for $6.99, another man's "arc of the covenant" thousand dollar dream fish.

These boards never cease to amaze.

I wouldn't class it as a "cull" or a "dream fish".

Its a unique little fish that looks cool... nothing more nothing less

Short-bodied ones are not easy to come by. You've seen by now short-bodied polypterus, jellybean parrots, balloon rams, balloon mollies and plenty others with rather short body in comparison to the normal ones. I'd still stick with the normal ones though.
