Loaches Online Forum

Hi all.

I got 2 of mysterious sucker fish.
The fish species I have not seen so far.
Even if I searched on the Internet, I couldn't find out the fish species.
The fish is also different from Beaufortia in Pseudogastromyzon in sinogastromyzon in Gastromyzon.
They are grazing algae and also eat blood worms.

It may be the one which mixes with Gastromyzon viriosus, is imported and has come.
It was unclear, but a correct thing was received at the same time.

Below is pictures of the mysterious sucker fish.
Doesn't anyone know this sucker fish?
Thank you.

Looking in the book The Borneo Suckers by Tan Heok Hui, this species looks most like Hypergastromyzon humilis, Hypergastromyzon eubranchus, or similar species.

The Hypergastromyzon humilis sure looks like it.

Hi Jim.
Thank you very much for checking this fish species.
To tell the truth I have the book, too, only pages on color pictures could be checked.

Well, I don't like a long English chapter.
Automatic translation system can be used for English chapter of the internet, but that can't be used by a book.

Hi Graeme.
Thank you very much for information on a link.
More 3 pictures are added.
A last one is the just before state put in the tank with G.viriosus.

Emma!!! What ya doing later? I see a new entry into the Loach Species Index. I can do the write up if you can load it on the site?

Certainly!

They don't seem too timid.
Therefore it's easy to take close-up pictures.

I could take a video clip,too.

Good night.
