Hello all,

I have had these fish a while now, and i really would like to know a id for them.

This was when they were just introduced,they have darkened up a bit now.

Here is a video of the fish. I have no idea what they are doing:

Every now and again, they will go crazy swimming round in circles. they get a red spot, with a black line in front of it on there dorsal fin.

Thanks

Hi,

looks like Nemacheilus pallidus

Thomas

Or possibly Masyae

If the dark bars on the body are wider than the lighter interspaces it should be N. masyai, if thinner N. pallidus. Based on that photo N. masyai then?
