and this wierd Garra, it has the finnage colouration of a flavatra but the body markings are so variable it's got to be one of the next buys i do.
maybe Emma could enlighten us about them.
Image
through lack of space i had to be careful what i bought, so in the end i picked up 3 Garra flavatra, 6 Mesonemacheilus guentheri which had the most beautiful colours.
here's a few pics of them in my tank.
