what is this fish

hey guys feeling a bit dom today so
I got 2 of these when I bought a tank for a marine setup from a mate .no idea what it is its about 8cm .i have it with the malawis now ,not sure if i should risk putting them with the jardini .thanks

 

Looks to me like some kind of Botia?? Probaly a Polkadot botia??

Can you get a clearer pic??

Cheers
G!

 

is definately a botia,looks almost like a tiger botia but the pic is not so clear?

 

no sorry g .when i come near the tank it hides in the driftwood ,seems more active at night

 

Pakistani loach/botia maybe.

 

ahh thats it Pakistani loach/botia thanks
guys.def not jardini arowana safe then.

 

It looks like a YOYO Loach/Pakistani loach.

 

Its not a Pakistani loach or a tiger botia, the markings are different! I'm not even convinced of my guess of a Polkadot.... the only reason I believe it could be a polkadot is becasue their markings can change quite radically!

I'll get back to you, but if you do manage to get a better pic, it would help a lot!

Hmm... You say its 8cm?? A Yoyo Loach shouldn't be that reticulated by 8cm. Or that green! But I really cannot find what else it could be?

The only other thing is its some sort of cross between maybe a Yoyo and a Tiger? I'm not even sure thats possible?

I'll keep digging a little deeper....

Agree with you! Although the pic is not clear.

 

i will take pics of the 2 of them tonight.
Thanks for all the input guys

 

It is definitely a yoyo/Pakistani i have 5 of all different sizes

 

Yes, I give in!! I agree to it being a Yoyo, but am still surprised it is that reticulated at such a small size! Usually doesn't happen til they are over 10cm!

I think the greenish brown colour is actually a side effect inside the camera?

Some sort of botia, probably a pakistani, maybe even a tiger, pic isnt clear

cheers
