I agree with 3 as well because of the dorsal spot.
And yes D that is the color at this time, kinda silverish white. If they are #3 they will eventually turn a pearlescent gold with green bars, I am going to order more because the wet spot is selling them at a huge discount because they are identified incorrectly.

Yes, they are only 1.5" and can teach sizes of 10". The coloring will identify them better as they mature but the markings, bats and spots can be seen at a very young size

Well heck, it has been a few months since i posted on this tank. I currently have around 50 or so loaches in here. Newest addition species is the Yasuhikotakia Splendida. Not a cheap loach. All seem to be doing well and active.
again i wish that i could post a video without posting to YouTube first

One year later and the loaches have a new home. They are enjoying the open space with the cichlids in the 600. Still have 30 or so, these are pricing to be a tough fish to keep alive. I have learned that they really need clean, clean water or they stress easily and then they start to go down hill.
Next week i will be finally getting my hands on 14 of the Berdmorei straight from Asia, heading to Bonney Lake to pick up some Modestas and lots of spider wood.
If any of you are at your LFSs and you happen to see any larger skunk loaches, please let me know.

Do skunk loaches go by the name of red tailed botia loaches too?One year later and the loaches have a new home. They are enjoying the open space with the cichlids in the 600.

No. The red tails are the modesta (which i want more of) the common name for the skunk is skunk loach, or skunk botia.
