Hey all.

I was just looking at the species index to try and identify my hillstream when I spotted this comparison picture.

My hillstream has the dorsal markings of G. Ctenocephalus (bottom image), yet has the caudal markings of G.Scitulus. Could mine be a different strain of Gastromyzon, or is she just confused?

I'll try and get a photo of her once I work out how my new camera works (early birthday present ^_^).

I put up the pic for you...had to remove the "/image" from the end of the url.

Actually, those pictures were taken a while back with probably relatively young fish. I have some "scitulus" which have some blue spots in the dorsal.

Thanks Shari.

So, shes probably an older scitulus then. Its not really that important, I just wanted to know. Thanks Martin ^_^
