fish id

My sister saw a fish in a store in Hong Kong which looks a lot like an otocinclus, except that it was orange/flesh colored. Any idea what it is?

Most likely a Chinese Algae Eater (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri), but you haven't given us much to go on!

It's not a catfish by the way, it's a cyprinid.

Probably an albino or luecitic variation.

I did point that out to her (that there are thousands of fishes, how can we know which one it is), but she insisted it was identical to the otto except for the color...

Thanks.
