Related Species
The dwarf loach closely resembles Yasuhikotakia nigrolineata, another Thai protected species, especially when the fish is fully grown. The difference is easily seen when the fish is still small. Juveniles of Y. sidthimunki have dotted patterns while Y. nigrolineata have horizontal lines on them. Furthermore the chain pattern of Y. sidthimunki develops in fish at a smaller size.
