Thanks for the comments!
@plaalye
You are right it is a S. sp. spotted but the new name is S. sp. aff. albisuera!
To read in this great magazine: http://www.amazonas-magazin.de/Produkti ... ducts=2845
But i think its only available in europe.
About the stellatus, you are right lets see what Charles say, he´s the expert.
@Jim
The Hypergastromyzon cf. humilis is a very rare species in the trade i see them one times in a mix of borneo suckers and never again.
He is not very shy but i don´t see them often, i think this species is more nocturnal. I never see them graze on rocks like the Gastro, he likes more fleshy things as artemia, bloodworms and daphnia.
About 23*C and very high oxygen-rich water you have no problems to keep this nice extremely flat hillstream loch.

g. zebrinus. at least all my specimen in doubt were identified by HHT as zebrinus.
about "spottted": I didn't agree with some conclusions about the sewellia-complex in the AMAZONAS cited - and I still don't.
s. albisurea as described and documented by J. Freyhof doesn't correspond with spotted. After about 400 bred spotted and a look at some thousend specimen in the wholesaler's tanks now and then I'm still convinced that it's an undescribed species - if not described in an obscure vietnamese publication as parasewellia, which nobody can confirm.
