Took some more pics today.........
Gastromyzon zebrinus
Probably female
Gastromyzon scitulus Note pectoral fin "fences" in male, absent in female. Leading edge of fin looks to be very slightly squarer in male, but no way as clearly as in
Sewellia. I checked all mine today after discovering this yesterday. All of them have the feature except this obviously way fatter female.
Female
Male
Female is much plumper mid-body
Pseudogastromyzon cheni Female. This one has almost no red in the dorsal.
Gastromyzon ocellatus. Love the way their scales are so defined.

Couple more
G. scitulus.............
Female doing her
Plecostomus impression
Male
Oh, by the way. I've decided that I
hate male
P. cheni. I have lost SO many potentially great photos today because some stoopid macho
cheni decides that
just before my finger depresses the shutter, he will come blasting into the picture and scare the nicely posed subject away

Those hillstreams are really gorgeous. And so fat!
If you're into rock with striations through it like that. Like the 'rainbow rock' that BA's sells, you can get it at about 1/10th the price at BETZ just up the road north of Finch on Kennedy on the east side. Its a big yard with rocks in it. Not much presentation.

That first shot from the 3rd batch of pics is awesome.
Should be included on the species index.

We've decided that some of our Cheni and our new Wui are allergic to the Camera. One of our males has just become mature (we think) and has lovely tubercles. Every time I reach up to the shelf above for the camera he vanishes.
The females don't seem to mind too much. Though they can be flightly too sometimes.

I think they learned that from the wui. They are very shy fish.
By the way, I still haven't seen either of mine eat any brine shrimp...only bloodworms.

Just you wait, Helen. It'll happen eventually.
