Speaking of Vanmanenia sp's! How large is your chap Martin or anyone else who keeps these lovely chaps. I've seen one as a contaminant which is well over 3 1/2 inches TL. Normal size?

Graeme, you keep finding these cool hillstreams!!
In what kind of shipment was this fish a contaminant?

Jim, it's came in with either one of two tanks with Beaufortia kweichowensis in one and Sinogastromyzon wui/Pseudogastromyzon fangi in the other. I noticed it the other day, but forgot about it.

I agree with Emma. The ocellatus are especially endearing.

I agree, I love your PICS and especially your fish. Here in TN we don't see those. Mainly angelicus ,clowns ,weather, and an occational kuhli and that's about it. They are beautiful. thanks for sharing.

The biggest one is a bit over 2.5 inches SL.
