I have finally (after months of trying) managed to get a half decent photo of my extremely well spotted female Mesonoemacheilus guentheri

She is a beaut! I've been looking at these for a long time now at the shop but just can't find a place for them. Striking fish!

Great looking fish mate!
Any idea of where it was collected? The ones i've collected a few years back never had more than 2 rows of bigger spots!

I dont know a location Madhu but this one and several others came in with a shipment of M. triangularis and when I asked at the time I was told they were collected at the same location, probably doesnt narrow it down any

i got some from Emma's shop the same patterns as MDs, the only trouble is Mahdu is they were exported by Patrick and as he's only an exporter he could only give us a vague location as to where they were caught.
here's one of my males for comparison with Mark's.

Very Beautiful MD & Mick.
Pretty impossible to narrow it with respect to triangularis as its one loach thats wide spread thoughout the length of the Western gharts, though, guntherii is pretty restricted to the southern parts.
These fellas are very interesting fishes both in the wild & in captivity. Over 500 mts of a rocky stream, there were close to a 1000 specimen under rocks, each rock having 6-7 individuals guarding their own micro territory and when I gave them a sandy substrate, they used to burrow like rabbits and once when i had to lift a rock there was a whole lotta networked tunnels under the rock. The only problem being they become reckless during feeding time.
