I'm not sure if this should be here in the loach forum or in the freshwater forum? Feel free to move it and let me know.
These have been at my LFS for awhile labeled as "garra gotyla". In looking at the index they look like garra annandali to me. What do you think? Any info like how big they get and temperment, looks like a good algae muncher!

For some reason i'm thinking Garra bicornuta or Garra cf bicornuta (juveniles have the black markings on the caudal finnage).
