That's a beauty. I've still never been lucky enough to see these in the flesh.

Thanks!
This one needs a mate. I have been looking for some time, but I haven't been able to find any in with white cheeked gobies.

Thats an Ace there , Glad your adding pics Are those bamboo shrimp in the tank too ? No problems when they molt? Wow Is it because they can hide or just not a problem ?????? I have a seperate tank as I thought the Loaches would tear them up !!! What else is in this tank Jim????

Thanks, Tinman.
There are three shrimp in the pic. The one on the rock between the camera and the L. disparis is some neocardina species that are breeding like flies. Of the two behind the L. disparis, the one of the left is a cherry shrimp/bumblebee shrimp hybrid and the one on the right is a pure bumblebee shrimp. The tank contains some gastromyzons, homalopteras, a sinogastromyzon wui, a school of danio choprae and a large number of shrimp. The shrimp are of the above mentioned types plus pure bred cherry shrimp and a couple of old amanos. The hillstreams and the shrimp get along fine. The main problem is that the shrimp eat most of the pellets and wafers that go into the tank for the hillstreams and have reached such numbers that they are eating the java fern leaves. I have to periodically remove some to other tanks, give them away or sell them.
They seem to do better in this river tank than any other of my tanks.
