Are those "Hershey Kisses" similar in function as the clown´s tuberculs?

That camera shows incredible details :shock: great shots

Yes they're probably of sexual dimorphism in nature.

I have at least two others that are similar. One is probably female, but I'm not certain it's the same species.

I keep wondering why there haven't been more instances of breeding a lot more of the different Pseudogastromyzon/Gastromyzon species. Maybe it is the combination of people not being lucky enough to obtain mixed sex groups (or not knowing what to look out for) plus keeping them in less than ideal conditions?

Fingers crossed you have at least a pair of these beauties Martin, and with all those P. cheni hormones floating around....... :wink:
