Default Unknown Loach?

As I went to my LFS to look at fish they ACTUALLY had I saw a loach. It was called a 'Pepper Loach' but I REALLY think it's a Weather Loach. I will post a picture if you are unsure. I wanted to get it but I need to know size and such. I'm working this summer so, upgrading is NOT an issue anymore!!! ** SQUEEEEEEEEE! ** Sorry lol. I'm thinking of getting a 29 I think a 55 is too big for me. THANK YOU!!

Yeah... it's hard to tell the different. The biggest one is the pattern of the back, weathers' are darker...

It's not the yellow one, that's a golden loach. It's GOT to be a Pepered loach! They probably spelled it wrong. Or I read it wrong. Teehee! Thanks! Yeah he's small but doesn't have blackness on him.

The easiest way for ME to tell was the fin placement. It's dorsal fin is closer to it's head. (Got this mixed up b4 lol).

Well it is a loach point blank lol. I'm sure now it IS a Peppered Loach. Not Pepper. Lol adding the 'e&d' helped everything.

'To be that way.' What do you mean? I'm lost. I know there are hundreds of loaches. Dwarf, Zerba, Golden, etc. I just mean atleast I know it's a loach ^_^! Thank you for your help!
