Loaches Online Forum

Collected from a small stream in Kallidaikurichi, a village on the banks of the river Tamaraparani in Southern India.
Difficult to photograph as it dives into the sand once the lights are on. I suspect this is a juvenile as it is only around 2 inches long.

Stunning little fish

Looks similar in ways to Nemacheilus elegantissimus

it's a beaut of a loach Beta, similar in pattern to corica but without the bullish head.
great catch sir.

Thanks guys
Any guesses on what it could be? I'm going to their collection locale in a couple of weeks from now.. Let me see if I can find more.
