Thanks Mick!
I was indeed desperate for a positive ID on that Nemacheilus

Fella's got the patterns similar to a S. denisonii

i still think you need to do a profile shot for it to be possitive mate, there are so many that are similar to each other.

You know what it takes to catch these little fellas from an established tank.
