I have a feeling I should know this, but I've looked through the index and can't pick it. I picked up 5 of these beauties today and think they are superb. Their markings are quite peculiar.Any ideas anyone?

They look like the Annamia normani.

Yep, I'd agree. They love really strong current - mine position themselves on a piece of bogwood not far from one of the powerhead outlets in my river tank. I'm sure you'll have them fattened up in no time, Bob. :wink:

Well you are all just spectacularly good. I wouldn't have ferreted that out in a fit. Many thanks! I really hope I can do "the righty" by these little stunners. The last 12 months or so have been amazing. Sids, kubotai, striata, rostrata, and now these gems. I don't feel nearly as deprived now!
