Just Thought I'd Share This

[The-Wolf]

managed to get a good shot of one of my Acantopsis choirorhynchus Horse-faced loach

I thought I'd share it with you guys

That doesnt look like the loach commonly known as the horse-faced loach... They look like this:

you know what Ben
I think you maybe correct.
I have a feeling I've been sold the wrong thing

 

[bunjiweb]

We have one of those lurking in a fancy goldfish tank at work, it isn't marked up for sale though. It's deffinately a temperate loach, possibly a speckled loach or something.

Blends in well with his surroundings anyway.

I had one of those in my goldfish tank, It was sold as a "stone loach"....dont know if that helps

 

[The-Wolf]

I now think this maybe an Acanthopsoides molobrion
which has no english common name but is know as
Sekavec makahamský in the Czech republic

what do you know, it looks like a horse with a fish body. One could dub it a "horsh" or a "forshe" or something. i dunno... Horsh, it kindof rolls off the tounge doesn't it?

Hmm
Interesting Ben
thanks

 

[The-Wolf]

according to someone on the laoch forum
my fish is missing an adospi (sp) fin thus it is not a
Kottelatlimia pristes but is definately a Acanthopsoides molobrion

Wooah. Freaky looking.
