    Bought this from a local farm. Maybe it is not the "real" doc fish "Garra rufa".
    Maybe its cousin.
    Can anyone identify its scientific name by the pictures?

    It does not look like the real Garra rufa. Slipperylittlesuckers has a list of different species and yours look like the Garra annandalei to me. They look a little pale, but may color up when they are settled in the tank. My Garra rufa got all the right colors within a couple of days.
