Nice find, Mick!
Possibly Gastromyzon zebrinus.

That looks very similar to the ones Les took away from Emma's last week and we thought they were Gastromyzon zebrinus, yeah the other's are scitulus Mick :wink:

cheers lads i thought they were scitulus, i might go back for a few more they had quite a few.
on the poss zebrinus, i can tell you there are no dorsal markings and on the caudal the lower rays form a black stripe from the peduncle.
