I have a Batik with my Sewellia's. Mine is semi-agressive with them. It thinks it is the boss of the tank. It doesn't hurt them just pushes them around.

If i'm not mistaken the subspecies is called M.Triangularis Tambraparni ? will have to check with Menons book ! if i'm not mistaken though the sizes of both are the same ? i think one of them is found alongside M.Guntheri , and the other one isn't ha ha not to specific i know but i'm surrounded by books dealing with everything but fish , at least in any great detail ! i'm at the library !

The Mesonoemacheilus triangularis comes from 5 or 6 rivers in India, Andy. One river is called the Tambraparni river. Colour variants are possible. I dunno which though.

I guess over those 6 rivers variations will occur ! not only in colour but in sizes ?
