Need an ID on the gastromyzon in the middle (same fish next to the sewellia in the second photo). Not sure which gast. it is as it was mixed with some ctenocephalus. Sorry, best photos I can get right now. Thanks.

My guess would be g. zebrinus.

Hmm, it might be. Kind of looks like g. stellatus too from looking at photos.

stellatus and zebrinus are closely related and you can often find individuals that seem to be intermediate of these two.
You may be able to tell more as it matures and the pattern changes. How large is this fish?

A little over 1 inch. I just got it today and letting it settle in the quarantine tank.

Best picture I can get right now. Not sure on the ID yet. Will try to get a video up soon.

I'm going to tentatively go with zebrinus based on the size of the head in proportion to the body and the black base of the caudal fin.
