I bought 6 of these today, the were labeled as "Wild caught gastromyzon punctulatus" in store. I don't think I agree, can anyone help me?

Looks like g. zebrinus to me. Second one looks pretty boney, though it could be the angle. Get it some algae, maybe treat for internal parasites. Very nice fish!!
Re: Can anyone help me ID this hillstream loach?
I agree with the above: the second fish is definitely under-weight. The colors are good, but it needs fattening up to be healthy. Perhaps try and get some frozen live food into the tank with it, or maybe Repashy's soilent green (as a higher protein algae replacement).

Yes a few of them were unfortunately underweight, I thought it was G. zebrinus but wanted to check with you to be on the safe side
