Need help to ID this loach. This was collected from Nagalapuram, Chitoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India.
I think the caudal fin is unusually long for this loach.

Beta, they look a little different than the ones i got mate, they seem a lot slenderer than them plus i can't make out if they have markings in the dorsal and caudal fins.
Rahul give me a positive ID on mine, has he seen yours yet?
all the same they look a bood fish to have. :wink:

Hi Mick,
Rahul wanted better pics once they settle down. He thinks its one from the Schistura denisoni complex for now.
