Some more pics of the supposed Yoyo that I got last week. He is SO difficult to photograph.



The only full body shot I managed to get. Gives you an idea anyway.

Personally i;d liken this fish to the ones that enter the hobby as Rostrata ! its the face , that seems more akin to those in my opinion.

Martin, your new loach kind of reminded me of some I thought I might have seen before. I've dug out these 2 pictures of some specimens that came in a few years ago, on two separate occasions, in batches of Botia rostrata direct from India:





I know your new addition is proving hard to capture on camera, but do you think either of these bear much resemblance?

Where do you get your fish Martin? They look awesome!

[Martin Thoene]

This fish was just an odd-ball in a tank of cichlids at North American Fish Breeders pixelatedpirate.

Finally, I got some better pictures.







This fish certainly bears similarities to the fish in your pics Emma.
