Here as in Philippines?..363sgd is quite ex...I heard from the LFS owner that in China, this fish is sort of a delicacy...

I believe so...Royal Clown Loach is also one of it's common name. But in my opinion, base their pattern n colour...maybe a golden tiger loach more appropriate

Here's a few more pics
