Gastro's and sewellia

Post by Mad Duff » Wed Feb 25, 2009 11:34 am

I picked up 8 of these Gastromyzon's and 4 Sewellia spotted at Emma's last week:

I ended up with 4 scitulus, 3 ctenocephalus and a lone stellatus:

I had one with fins heavily marked like that a few years ago, before we knew this was situlus. Unfortunatley, it didn't last very long.
