Hi Craig, and welcome to Loaches Online from me too. :D

I think the fish in the last two pics are juvenile Botia kubotai. I've had fish like that in the store where I work, which came in labelled as B. histrionica. They actually grew up to be B. kubotai, so that is what I suspect here. I guess we'll have to wait and see..... :wink:

Yes Emma, i have to admit I had my fingers crossed behind my back when I made that ID. I see the little lateral spurs off the stripes and wonder.
