I recently purchased some sort of loach or botia from my local petland. He is black with beautiful yellow spots that run along each side of him kind of one ontop the other in two rows and spaced evenly apart kindof like this >> = = = = > He looks more like a botia than a loach b/c he's allot skinnier and more snake looking than my clown loaches. The people there didn't know what he was they just said he was probably in the loach family. Does anyone know what im talking about? I paid $20 for him im starting to think i got ripped off b/c i saw some yoyo loaches at another fish store and they looked similar but the pattern on them was different and they were no where near as brightly colored. Also he was very active and swiming around the front glass of the tank in the store but now he hides in my rocks allot. He is still active but only when i am away from the tank. When watching him from across the room he sometimes filcks himself onto the bottom of the tank and swims around really fast and kinda crazy. Is this normal or is something wrong with him?
