[quote="mickthefish"]a few more.
Hopefully I have the right picture in this post. <afterchecking, yup! > This is the first time I've used a quote!!
What is the beautiful fish pictured here? It was love at first sight!! Is it some sort of Garra?? I am very interested in Garras and have added them to my wish list for my 55 Gallon tank I will be turning into a River Tank. I only seem to see Garra Flavatra, and would be interested to know what other kinds of Garra are out there.
Thanks,
soul-hugger

I ordered those direct from the Democratic Republic of Congo a couple of weeks ago as Garra lancrenonensis, was invoiced for G. ornata (???), but I think they look very similar to G. congoensis that I've had in once before. I will try to find out more and let you know.

Hi, LES.
Congratulations!
The very rare Gastromyzon fish species.
http://www.loaches.com/species-index/ga ... n-viriosus
I got 4 of those in January, but it also seems that Gastro was imported into Japan in quantities in February.

Below is my pictures.
G. viriosus and 2 of G.zebrinus.
Congratulations!
I infer that Gastromyzon of your yellow fin is G. viriosus.LES.. wrote:This beauty came home with me along with 6 Gastromyzon zebrinus

I certainly believe that it is Gastromyzon viriosus going on the description. You have some lovely looking specimens there Odyssey, great pictures too (-:odyssey wrote:I infer that Gastromyzon of your yellow fin is G. viriosus.

Here is another picture of this loach in the stock tank at the shop (please excuse the water marks)
Click image for full size.
You can see the fin colour more clearly here but i don't have a picture in any way close to yours with the fins fully fanned out.
It has settled in well so far and i managed to get a few more pictures last night but they need a little tweaking before i upload them hopefully i'll find a spare few minutes this evening to sort them out.
The way this loach moves as it grazes over a stone is a real treat to see, it slowly lifts the front edge of its fins and seems to inch forward like a caterpillar.
