I think it's quite possibly Letobotia guilinensis.

Martin. I see your computer skills are useful with "yam yam's" Corys.

Dunno who yam-yam is. I got these off a Japanese website:

Ahah! I wondered if that's what you meant. Yes, they are way cool!
I'm wondering actually what I can do in Paint using an animation program.
Years ago, I modified a design that I did in Paint of one of the ambulances at the USAF base I worked at. I got given an animation program demo and I created an 8 frame version where the ambulance wheels rotated, lights flashed at correct rate, exhaust puffed, and an F15 aircraft flew between crossed flags out the top of the picture towards you.
It looked awesome.
A tail wagging Botia would be a breeze!

Perhaps like "Chelsea", I thought Yam yam was the special one. Obversely not.

I saw a large shipment of these mixed in with all black and fully striped individuals labeled as Leptobotia tientaiensis, a few years back.

The fully striped ones looked like L. guillinensis or Sinibotia pulchra.
Oh, and nice little fishies you have there, Martin
