Finally after some small setbacks that ended well I´ve had time to take some pictures of the new hillstrams. Here are some, I really like the small one with very dark colours (3rd pic), looks very nice when it flashes the orange tail.

They remind me of the Gastromyzon zebrinus.

I think more:

These are the first of this species photographed from exported stock that I've seen. Hendra's photos in the species profile are all wild-caught, but still in their homeland.

You're lucky Janne :P

Looks like you might have BOTH unknown sp. 03 and G. zebrinus.
You are very lucky! :wink:

Heres one good new picture I took today and two with a view of tanks "hillstream-side". Actually the hillstream is slowly taking over, plants have left the building and rocks are checking in :lol:

That is a really nice set up!!
I'm sure the hillstreams love it.

That's a really beautiful looking setup Janne. I would leave those remaining plants, it has a really nice "balance" to it.

Yes, I would leave the plants also. The hillstreams will use them as grazing and resting areas.
