I am sooo excited. I went to browse for fish for my 55 gallon at a fish store about 45 minutes from my home and they had a bunch of horseface loaches. I have wanted these for along time and haven't been able to find them anywhere so I was so suprised to see them in this little fish store. Just thought I would share my excitement!

Well done its great when you find that special fish you have been looking for especially after a long travelling distance to an aquarium.

Any chance of a photo as I have no idea as to what it looks like.

They look alot like the CAE in the body...they were actually in the same tank, but when they are right next to eachother you can really tell a difference. Their heads actually look like a horse's head.
They dig so fast it's crazy. I felt bad for the girl trying to catch them at the fish store; it took her about 20 minutes because they dug in the gravel as soon as she put the net in.
I'm so glad I found them!

Thank you for that. I can see what you you mean by the comparison to a CAE it likes it could do with a good feed.
