They sell these guys as Borneo scooters/chinese hillstream loaches/whatever here in Australia. They never try to give a scientific name. In fact there are plenty of places that call them catfish.

These guys arrived in a shipment recently. Joe got a few and they didn't like his tank, I got one today we'll see if they like mine.

It looks a bit like Pseudogastromyzon fasciatus, but the striping under the eye doesn't match.

Coming out of the bag was probably my last chance to get a decent shot of this guy.

What a great find!!
I wonder if these beauties are going to start showing up in gastromyzon shipments?
