Can anyone tell me what species this loach is and some care info?
Loach ID Needed
- Thread starter phreeflow

Thought it was a schistura but think more likely a mesonomacheilus.
Happy for experts to step in.

My LFS for a bunch of them in but they mislabeled them as Sumo loach.
Was going to get some but they all had ich. May go back later and grab a group but would like to know which species they are. They were pretty comical to watch

Here is a great loach site and this page will always help you ID a species https://www.loaches.com/species-index
You search by name or picture. With picture they start by having you choose a basic body shape.

Think I found it…could it be a zipper loach (Acanthocobitis botia?)

True…the pics of zipper loaches seem like their patterns are more variable and messy. The ones I saw all had the same bold patterns and were pretty much alike
Looks like Mesonoemacheilus triangularis - Zodiac loach to me. But loaches are not my specialty...
