Botia rostrata by common name?

[SnakeIce]

I have some and don't know what people call them. they could be confused with and are not as common as yo-yo's But I would like to have another moniker for them.
I will post what the lfs sold them under later(not yo-yo)

re rostrata

Botia rostrata is sometimes referred to as Twin banded loach or Seargant major loach

I said that I would post what the lfs sold them as, so here it is

Indian Dwarf Loaches

were they misslabled or is that just another name pulled out from who knows where.

I like mine. I have a zebra danio in with them and I think the contrast is amusing. that zebra is one left over from another set up that bit the dust while I was gone a while back. the danio is always trying to get the loaches to play with him.
