Welcome to the loach forums! We love seeing pictures and yours are fantastic! Can we see pictures of your whole tank?

Hi farid.

Well, I was overlooking this thread.
They're wonderful tanks, aren't they?
Pictures of Gastromyzon seem to be an X-ray.

Your fish species may be quite close to my taste.
I was surprised at a name called "Sinogastromyzon tonkinensis" for an instant.
I keep a similar fish, but I think that it is S.puliensis.

Here are the website that may serve as a reference.
