Hi All

I have managed to locate another strange loach - I bought 2 of them, they were sold as Redfinned Widow Loach and the pet store did not have a scientific name. They are about 5-6cm or 2 inches in size.

Any Ideas? I've been through the species index 3 times so far.

Thanks

Craig

Looks a little like Aborichthys elongatus although I am probably wrong

HI, Thanks, I think you're right - Found a picture on google images and they seem to match up!

More than "Widow", if that's pictures of both of your's, then they're more "Widowers" because the pictures are all male.
