loach
Aquarium floor scavenger
A loach is a small freshwater fish with a slender body and barbels around the mouth, native to Europe and Asia.
Loaches are bottom-dwellers, often kept in aquariums where they scavenge for food along the substrate.
The weather loach supposedly becomes restless before storms.
