What kind of Loach are these?

[John Lange]

What kind of Loach are these? They have Silver Gray Sides and Orange Tails
& Fins. About 2.5" to 3" Long. They only come out of hiding for an
occasional evening meal.

THANKS

Looks like the right one. I will compare next time they come out. Could
the reason they don't show very often be the cooler water temps I keep?
72 - 74?

Probably. I keep my tanks at 80 degrees.
