Any ideas? A better photo would help, but this is fairly similar to a short fat Pangio Oblonga (black kuhli). Possibly a gravid female. There are a couple of related species. hth.

I agree. I was going to guess oblonga too. Definately in the pangio genus.

Dont think it is a silver khuli after looking around on the internet.
Just been to the lfs and asked while I was there. The bloke told me it could be a wether loach (not sure of spelling), I'v looked at a few pics on the net and its seems more likely. |
