Hi everyone! I was referred to the site by pinkrblu. We just discovered that we are almost neighbors. Anyway - I have 5 tanks, all FW.
1. 70 Gal - HEAVILY planted with Gourami's, Cory's, Neon's, Oto's, Clown Loaches, 1 Sargeant Major Loach (if anyone knows where I can get more, please let me know), 2 Mystery Snails and Amano Shrimp.
2. 20 Gal - Moderately planted with Guppies, 2 Platy's, 2 Cory's, 2 Oto's.
3. 10 Gal - with misc. fish including 1 Featherfin Catfish, 1 Royal Pleco, 1 Common Pleco and 2 Horseface Loaches. I know, overstocked but all doing well for the past 8 months. (frequent WC's and 2 HOB filters)
4. 10 Gal - Nursery - 10 very tiny cory's and about 5 brand new Gourami's.
5. 55 Gal - just picked up today and #3 tank inhabitants will go into it when I get it set up. Then I'm going to try a FOWLR with that 10.
That's about it!

Botia rostrata. I didn't find any available online, but the stores should be able to find them on their lists I would think. If not, http://www.franksaquarium.com probably has them from time to time. They have a LOT of loach species.

Thanks for the welcome!
Botia rostrata is correct. He/she is so cute! Just needs a friend so he/she will be more social. I'll check Frank's frequently. I haven't been able to find any online either. And I live an hour from Joplin/Springfield. May have to try KC.

You'll have a better chance in NWA and Springdale than in KC. Fish shops in Kansas City are not the best. You could try Aquariums Etc. on State Ave. on the Kansas side, but that would be hit or miss. You would be better off calling one of the local stores to see if they can get some. You could even post on the section for Worlds Under Water and Bobby might be able to see if he could get some.
BTW, there is a great article on loaches in this month's TFH including a bit on rostrata. Big buggers!
