3 kinds of borneo hillstream loache

Post by odyssey » Sat Mar 03, 2012 12:38 pm

Hi everyone!
I got three kinds of Gastromyzon at the end of last year.
These three species are the same lot, and it is supposed that they inhabited the same area.
It is the Gastromyzon that I think questioningly.
They resemble G.zebrinus, but may be different.
Will G.zebrinus and G.viriosus be distributed over the same area?

G.viriosus. They always come over with Hypergastromyzon humilis.

Hypergastromyzon humilis

I am not used to English. Therefore,It is likely to sometimes misunderstand it.

As always, wonderful pics of beautiful fish!!
According to Dr. Tan's book, viriosus, H. humilis and G. zebrinus are not found together so they probably got mixed together after they were caught. Very nice fish!!! :D
