Kubotai's. Probably a bit smaller than he says.

But then the seller -- I think -- is that fellah who used someone else's pictures.

Actually, I think they're histrionica. they have the classic golden sheen that young histrionica have but unfortunately lose with age.

Genuine 2" kubotai normally have more linking of the markings than that.

If they are really 2"....its aquabid. Items seem to shrink on delivery....(like my rainbows)

For more interesting Aquabid loaches fun, check this description: 1 is red the other 3 are blue
