ID My Loach.

Sorry the pictures aren't the best but this is my partners new Loach. Now, he does know his fish... Just not loaches. So I thought, I'll ask here. I can't get a full body picture as he is very shy and only comes out at night. We think he's a Sinibotia Pulchra but we're not sure. I can try getting better pictures later but turning the lights off, waiting for him to come out and then snapping pics straight after turning the lights back on. He's about 4" long right now and living with a breeding pair of Kribensis in a 58L Boyu Orca tank :)

That's where we got Sinibotia Pulchra but we can't decide between Sinibotia Pulchra and Sinibotia Superciliaris.
