Unidentified hillstream loach

Post by Francois van Brederode » Tue Feb 15, 2011 4:57 am

I have once again found 2 nice looking Hillsteam loaches I can't ID.

The where a contaminent in a shipment of Beaufortia.
They are between 5-6cm in length.
I was thinking in the Hypergastro direction, but then again what do I know
A Picture tells a thousand words, so:

Any thoughts
