Gastromyzon farragus?

G. farragus looks similar to G. ocellatus.

I don't think it's a cteno:

occellatus has red in the caudal. Didn't see any in your fish.

this is the translated page...not the best, but you get the idea...

HERE is a link to the occellatus profile which makes comment about the difference between the species.
