Loach identity

[TheOscar]

I bought a new fish today.. The girl working at the LFS knew it was a loach but that was about it (knowledgable goes home at noon there). Anyway , I bought this guy for 4.99$ , I'm thinking dojo loach , but I'm no expert with loaches yet. So if anybody knows I'd appreciate it

I think I figured it out .. Tiger Botia - Botia helodes ?

 

[Luananeko]

Definitely not a dojo, those have much rounder faces/noses, longer bodies, and rounded/non-forked tails. Tiger Botia could be right.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Tiger botia for sure
Not entirely colored yet so sorta tricky but still has the same face construction and pattern on body.

Cool that's what I was thinking .. He seems to be very cool addition .. I am pulling up 12" for max size , does that seem right ?
