Rainbow shark vs. Redtail Botia Loach again
Ok after spending a lot of time looking stuff up on the net and the killer being this pic
 I think both the petco and the petsmarts and maybe many other places are selling loachs as rainbow sharks. The two rainbow sharks I bought both spend their time eating off of rocks and pretty much acting just like my clown loach does. Anyone else agree with me on this? |

they do look alike, but I would say that is a loach for sure. the Rainbow shark is sleeker looking and not as round

Plus from what I can tell its mouth is more shaped like the balas and not just a kind of funnel shape. maybe I wrong also but 99% of pics I saw of real rainbow sharks did not have the two large whiskers coming off them.
