Botia sidthimunki = pygmy chain loach = dwarf loach

Use scientific names and you won't have such confusions.

Hi,

Not in the north but I went to Petmart yesterday, they have stock of horseface loach as well as monkey loach together in a tank, still many left when I left at 5pm.

I believe the monkey loach should be referring to Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki?
