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:

Natural lighting

Image
Flash lighting

Image
Belly

Any thoughts
