Absolutely beautiful! I wonder how you have taken such clear and close pictures through an aquarium glass. These photos belong in a book!

In the two years I've been keeping fish I've never seen a hillstream in the stores. Thanks for sharing these great pictures.

A beautiful loach that I will probably never own (no space for a river manifold tank

). Amazing pictures Martin!!!

Hi! Martin.
I keep a lot of Gastromyzon genus for about 9 years.
I referred to your enormous descriptiones and pictures about Gastromyzon since before having joined LOL forum.
Unfortunately I was able to understand your English mention partially.
However, fortunately, there was not the language barrier about the picture.
It is honor very much to have information exchange about Gastromyzon in this way.

I obtained a "THE BORNEO SUCKERS" book after the publication immediately and translated it partially.
The following pictures are my Gastromyzon zebrinus and Gastromyzon stellatus.
I believe so it,; but the truth in state of things?
Where will the clear point to distinguish them be?

1) Three Gastromyzon zebrinus.

2) G.zebrinus that a striped pattern is awfully clear.

3) G.zebrinus that a striped pattern was absentminded.　The tail fins is blue.

4) G.zebrinus ?

5) G.zebrinus ?

6) G.zebrinus ?

7) Gastromyzon stellatus. I believe.

8　) G.stellatus. I believe.　The tail fins is blue

9) G.zebrinus G.stellatus G.zebrinus

Those are lovely fish, Odyssey. Martin is a master photographer, but your photos are extremely good, as well. And your English is much better than any Japanese the majority of us could muster, so please don't feel that you have to apologize. Thanks for sharing your pictures! I enjoyed the post. Like many I won't be able to keep hillstreams any time soon, but I find them fascinating and beautiful.
