Picked this guy up yesterday. Fish store owner called it a Bohemian, but I found 0 info on that name. Looking at pictures I think it might be a Schistura mahnerti. Any thoughts?

Well its definitely a member of the Schistura family. Its either a Schistura mahnerti or Schistura Poculi. Its definitely not a Schistura Balteata, I.E. sumo loach. I'm mostly using Loaches.com as a reference so if someone knows better please let me know.

Its a pretty cool fish. He's very shy and mostly likes to hide in the shade under my driftwood, especially when i walk by, but every now and then he'll peek his head out and dig through the gravel for some food. Seems to get along well with my other loaches.
