Hello! I'm new here and I've been digging through the internet for the past few days trying to find a good strain of loaches for my 55 gallon aquarium. So far my top picks are the serpent loach, zebra loach, and the (gecko, lizard, orchid) Homaloptera bilineata loach! My #1 pick is the Homaloptera bilineata loach but I can't find it for sale ANYWHERE other than from a site that I know for a fact is known for sending people alternate species in place of the species they ordered. If anyone can help me locate an online store that sells the Homaloptera bilineata loach that would be great! If not, I will settle with buying a group of serpent loach and zebra loaches.

Hi
Not seen on a exporter-list since 2013, no catches since as far I know.
Why not Homaloptera parclitella?
I wouldn't mix Homaloptera or Serpenticobitis with Botia.
Cheers Charles

You could email the supplier to confirm but I bet you are right.

A shame they are listed when unavailable.
