I have a Botia striata (I think the common name is striped loach) in
my 90 gallon. I got him over a year ago to control the Malaysian
trumpet snail population. He does a great job, and is only about 2.5
inches long. A very peaceful, personable fish, and fairly handsome,
as loaches go. He is brown with about 15-20 vertical orange stripes.
