Loach Identification or verification

Post by Scootdj79 » Wed Oct 24, 2007 5:06 pm

I was around a Petsmart today and so i went in and they had the usual fish but suddenly i spotted in their Pangio oblonga tank a contaminant that they had not a clue what it was. I told them I would take it and any others they had but to my sadness only had the one. I believe it is Nemachelius platiceps but I myself am not totally convinced of this. Heres a pic and if you need a better one I can see what I can come up with.

Thats what it looks like to me also. It is slightly different than the pics on this site but they are pics of an adult specimen and of a younger one.

Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.
