very nice bud, iv'e always liked almorhae mainly for you never get two fish looking alike in pattern.
iv'e got a shoal of possibly 20 of them.

Thanks

I know I am still not sure when i see some of them if they are YOYO's LOL

I am up to 9 and still lokking for more

I am going to take them out of the CL tank soon. I think when I reach about 14 of them.

It's really great to see that you have found so many friends for your original Yoyo.

the interesting thing with yoyos is their varying markings

if in doubt, show us a photo. all the ones you have shown so far are yoyos. i once bought one i wasnt sure about, and it grew into a botia rostrata.

14 yoyos in a nice big tank will make a lovely display

Helen you want a pic of what i suspect is a hybrid, you got it.
it's identical to the one oliv put up as the offspring of clown and yoyo.
what i have noticed is the shortness in the body and also the broadness on the dorsal plus they seem to have a shorter face.
it's one that escaped the net so i've given it a reprieve until i can get ity out.

here's the suspected hybrid Helen and folks, i think i got them from a local garden centre thats supplied with fish from a local wholesale place.
i actually bought 10 of them i got 9 out and give them to a local lass who just wants a pretty tank but loves her fish, this one i just could'nt catch but will one day.

hope you don't mind J@CKSON. but as you like almorhae it's sommat to look out for.

and as a comparison this is a wild caught from my mates shop, iv'e asked where these were caught because of the varying patterns in one batch.
