Picked up a few new Hillstream loaches for my Aquarium. Was able to get a couple Pseudogastromyzon laticeps. But also picked up a couple unknown Gastromyzons. If in fact they are Gastromyzons. Anyone have any idea what species they are? Pic number 1-3 is the unknown. Pic 4 is Pseudogastromyzon laticeps.

Thanks Chef. Thinking they are a variant of the Gastromyzon sp.SK ?

Very interesting. The Gastro looks a bit like the true G. punctalatus pictured in Dr. Tan's book, but the markings on the snout are different.
Whatever is is, its very nice as is the laticeps. Nice find!
Do you know if they came in together?
