"Om loach?"

[drnaturalist]

Hi all,
I've owned several smaller types of loaches but recently my local pet store has stocked "Om loaches." Attempts to identify this loach has been met with difficulty. Looking at the pictorial guide my best guess is Physoschistura shanensis (http://www.loaches.com/Members/martin/p ... a-sinensis) or the Zipper Loach, Acanthocobitis botia, (http://www.loaches.com/species-index/ac ... itis-botia) What do you guys think?



Thanks!

"Om loach" , look like noemacheilus/schistura corica to me.

Schistura corica

Thanks! It does look like Schistura corica, glad I didn't get them since they seem to be a faster water loach.
