Jimmer107 Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I was in Animal World (Medicine Hat) a few days ago and saw a loach for sale called a banded stone loach. Typical loach shape but the eyes looked to be on top of the head. I've been looking for info on them but can't seem to find anything that looks like them on the net. Has anyone seen these before?

Vapor Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) url=http://www.loaches.com/index.html Try loaches online.com. I found banded loach and stone loach. Maybe yours is one or the other. Edited April 22, 2006 by Vapor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmer107 Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks. I looked at that site but didn't find anything like it. The profile is more like a goby, with the neat looking buggy eyes looking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Are you sure it was a loach? Unfortunately some stores will call a certain fish one thing when it is not even close to that type or eventhe same family :shifty: . Mainly because they themselves don't know what it is, or thier supplier said that this is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmer107 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 That's what I was wondering about. It must be something else. I'll have to try to get in there again and get a scientific name. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAlberta Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Does it look like this? http://www.loaches.com/species_images/nemacheilus_toni.jpg Dave :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmer107 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Sorry, can't post a pic because I didn't buy one. I was looking at them in the store but wanted to research them a little before I picked one up. Dave, It doesn't look like that. Body shape is similar, but eyes are on top of head and kind of bug out. Color was brown with some spots. I thought it was similar to a weather loach in color, but the head and eyes were different. Eyes were larger than typical loach eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
