I purchased this Schistura sp. as S. devdevi. After MENON (Menon, A. G. K. (1987): The Fauna of India and the adjacent countries. Pisces Vol. IV, Teleostei – Cobitoidea Part 1 Homalopteridae. – Calcutta, India, Amra Press. 259 pp.) You can key them out as S. devdevi or S. carletoni, but both have other numbers and forms of bars (in this onotogentic development state). –

Any idea?

Hi Gerhard
That's tricky.
First thought was Schistura multifasciata species group

Schistura devdvedi could be a guess because patterns are very variable,
Schistura fasciolata?

Physoschistura rivulicola?
