Anyone able to tell me what the common name of this guy is? Tank at my LFS labeled him a loach but nothing else. Owner wasn't sure either since he wasn't specifically ordered or labeled in their last shipment. He's a little washed out from stress, I can get better pictures later if needed.

He is a Garra Garra, Commonly known as a "Panda Loach" I believe but not entirely sure. Not all that common to see for sale.

Thank you both. So next question for those in the know, what is a good supplemental food for them? Reading about them says that something meaty is very good for them and I do have shrimp pellets. Are those ok or should I look into something else?

Very pretty fish, nice find.

Here is an article you might find helpful, I was surprised to see they climb glass.
