I picked up 8 of these stunning Y. nigrolineata yesterday, they are probably the best nirolineata I have ever seen and I had intended to only pick up 4 but after bagging 6 I spotted another two that I wanted so ended up with the 8

Geeez MD! On a bit of a spree are we Where's the green with envy icon?
Thanks for the pics! I've been wanting to see some of these. Beautiful!!

[Mad Duff]

Yeah a little bit of a spree but that will be it now until all my tanks are sorted around September time, who knows I may be able to fit another spree in towards the end of the year if I am lucky

Its been years since I have seen nigrolineata.
As soon as sids became more readily available, its seems nigrolineata disappeared.

5-6 cm
and I already regreted not to have ordered more of them. look like golden flashes when turning up from the hiding places. and go very well with hillies and rhinogobius sp
