And you know, Mark would also have come away with more as he had apparently been eyeing up some Gastro's, but another customer beat him to it by mere minutes!

Superb! 8)

Lovely markings on the male Sewellia lineolata!

I agree possible Neogastromyzon sp but which? The line markings are very tight. :?:

Nice selection!!
I sure like that little neogastromyzon whatchacallit (maybe chini or brunei?).
It would be nice if we could get him in the species index.

That first S.lineolata seems to have a happy face on its side. Lovely fish.

The Sewellia "spotted" male was very active chasing all 5 females last night and the Sewellia lineolata male was also chasing the 2 lineolata females. The male lineolata's fences were quite pronounced when I got him but the "spotted" had very small fences on Friday but they were quite pronounced last night :D
