I dont know if I'm in the right forum but I have 2 of the borneo suckerfish and notice that one changes colour slighty for no reason but today I have noticed that whenever one is next to the other it goes very pale almost albino(normally chocolate brown) with a dark brown strip head to tail, then once one swims away it goes back to its normal colour. Could this be something to do with breeding? I cant tell you what sex they are as they look virtually identical. Someone did say they are part of the loach family but thought someone on here may be able to help please. Thank you.
 
Hi,

They are hill stream loaches. www.loaches.com has loads of info on them, they change colour to blend with the background to some extent.
