Just got a call from the fish store that they have something called "Bumblebee Loaches" She said they look a lot like YoYos, but thicker lines ... Anyone have any idea what they might be? Trying to decide if I should put my day's plans on hold and take a drive (and set up another tank
)

Ask them if it is yellow and black. Could be a Bumblebee Goby.

Two that spring to mind immediately would be Botia's Dario or Histrionica , assuming they mean Botia's ?

I was owndering about dario or histrionica, but she has had histrionica's there before, labelled as such.... She did say it looked like a botia of some sort.
Not a goby, although she told me about some striped gobies they got in as well....

It could be a Kubotai, there's a lot of variation with their markings.

Common names.......
If you can, ask the retailer what name was on the order form, so many juvenile loaches can be named what-ever to boost sales!
