Loaches Online Forum

Hi we rescued this little guy from an aquatic centre where he was described as an albino loach. I think he looks like an annamia species base on body shape but can't find any pictures that look like him. His body is a pink colour with white spots and has red eyes. He has a pronounced dorsal fin. He seems to like flicking his tail alot!! We have two gastromyzon in the tank as well so hope they will get on - so far so good!!

Thanks for your help

I don't know, it looks like an albino bristle nose pleco to me.

I'd say so too. Got a very small veiltail bristlenose pleco and a pair of Golden Ancistrus pleco ordered and they look identical to me to the photo.

Thanks guys,
It's definitly an albino brittle noses pleco. We are going to rehome it when we get a chance as it will grow too big for our 30L/7 us gallon tank when it reaches adult size!! Think we'll stick to our gastromyzon and pearlscale goldfish!!

The Goldfish will also outgrow that small a tank.
