I just received a fish tank with a ladder loach already. I was told they were agressive but researched online they are milder in groups however, i cannot find anywhere that sales them. Please help me know where i can find these loaches for sale, i have found other loaches but not this particular kind. i live in southern california if anyone knows where i can purchase some that would be wonderful thank you :)

It is a peaceful fish in general, but it should be kept in groups of 3 or more.

I tried looking on aquabid since I remember seeing some for sale there but its gone.
You can try checking yourself here are its "other" names Twin-banded Loach, Ladder Loach, Dohser, Gangetic Loach, Sergeant Major Loach. Scientific name Botia rostrata.

Pakistani botia is the Yo yo loach or Botia almorhae.
Also peaceful and must be kept in groups of 3 or more.

I can't find the yo yo loach either, sorry.

Hope I helped
