Who am I?

Does anyone know what this little guy/girl is? I saw it in the lfs, and no one knew there either.

Looks like a hillstream loach.

Definitely a hillstream loach

Thank you. Now I have a starting point for google. Lol! It was so tiny in the tank I had to zoom in on my phone wasn't sure if you'd be able to tell. Now for the research.. do either of you have any experience with these guys?

Yep, a hillstream. They are a peaceful species, and are great for most communities, but the one thing they do like is some current. A small powerhead in the bottom back corner blowing across the back of the tank will give them some "surf time".

Aw, I was hoping I could've put them in with my discus :-(

I have another, well actually two, I've had these two for a while and have had numerous people say they were different things over the years. I figured I'd post and see if you all knew?

The 1st one maybe a flash pleco and the 2nd is a clown pleco.

That's what I thought too but when I was at the lfs the other day they had zebra plecos and they were black and white and cost around $500.00 so I don't think that's what it is anymore. I also thought maybe a flash? For the 1st and a clown for the 2nd?

Lol! We must have been typing at the same time.
