Botia lohachata, the reticulate loach, painted loch or Pakistani loach, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Botiidae, the pointface loaches. This species is found in streams with rocky and gravel bottoms in Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh[2].Specimens labelled as B. lohachata are often found in the aquarium trade, but most of these appear to be the closely related B. almorhae. Their three Y-shaped bands – the first in front, the second below and the third behind the dorsal fin – and between each band in the middle of the flank a circular dot,this also leads to them often being referred to by the name "yoyo loach".[3]
