These long-barbelled beauties came in a few weeks back, ordered in as Nemacheilus selangoricus. (Apologies for scratches on the glass):

What are people's thoughts on the ID? Unfortunately I have no collection location information on these.

Superb pictures!!

Not sure, something tells me that they could be a different species from the Nemacheilus selangoricus. Or possible variation with them coming from a large distribution area. (Malay Peninsula from Trang in Thailand to Singapore, Sabah in North Borneo and Belitung Island, also Indonesia.)

I found one of Kamphol's pictures.

Hi Graeme , I agree Selangoricus has a forked tail as seen in Kamphols pic ! Emma's fish are different ! I think Thomas is on the right track .
