I was just about to reply saying nice tank, but where's the loach?
No, it's not a Yoyo. It's not even a
Botia, it's most probably
Schistura geisleri

Now my question is whereabouts did you get it?

Thanks for your quick reply Martin. and the link.
I bought 8 Yoyo loaches from Bigal's in Toronto ,but now I know I only got 6 Yoyos and 2 of these guys

,they were in the same tank as the yoyos.

Might have guessed. It's usually the best branch for Loaches, although not as good as it used to be.
The chinese-owned shop next door the other side of the "Great Wall of China" is worth checking out too.

That is the only place I go for anything related to my aquariums,their prices are good and the place is relatively clean,I only wish their staff were a little more knowledgeable.
