These are awesome, Nonn. 8) It means so much for us aquarists to see these fish in their natural habitats. I particularly liked the Danio species.
Keep up the great work!

Great pics as ever Nonn, I absolutely love this type of thread.

I would go for pic 65 & 66 being some type of Devario similar to Devario laoensis or Devario chrysotaeniatus. The fish that caught my eye are just above 55 to 64, is there anybody able to help with an id.

The-Lion is correct about the ID of the fish in 65-66. The fish in your question is Rhinogobius mekongianus (Pellegrin & Fang, 1940)
