Loaches Online Forum

These came in as Botia dario and I think the Gold Zebra loach. They are about 1-1.25". Very small and young.

Could you confirm this is a B. dario (aka Queen loach)?


Is the "Gold Zebra Loach" a very young B. histrionica? I have never seen B. histrionica for sale before?

Hi Tanja,
Yes, first pics are of Botia dario, second ones are B. histrionica.

Yea! Thanks for the ID. I have never seen B. histies before. I was so sure they were Yoyos until I realized the o's were missing. I am very excited about this. I think this is really a good loach to keep. Relatively small and peaceful. Much better than Clowns for the average tank.

Histie's are pretty undemandind ! those Dario have a lovelly base colour !
