Polka Dot Loach?

[Le Sorcier]

I'm keen to get 4/5 Polka Dot Loach for my Juwel 180 but my LFS only has "Double Banded Loach"?

I've looked at pictures of both and they look like Polkas to me?

They ARE very similar. Is there an easy way for me to tell when I take a close look in the shop?

Many thanks

Hmm, I have Polka-dots, let me google-image that....

Perhaps this is what they mean by Double Banded?

If they're striped, they're double banded (usually) although there are many striped loaches.
Polka dot loaches have spots, they change as they age, the spots are initially black on yellow, but become yellow on black if I remember properly.
