You must send to Australia if you will send at all. . We lack in loaches here and can only get clowns pretty much.

Those are beautiful!!!
They are defiantly a species of gastromyzon, but I don't have any idea which one. This may be a new species or perhaps a variation in pattern on a recognized species.

At ClownLoachSharky:
After looking further in the book The Borneo Suckers by Dr. Tan Heok Hui the closest I can find is the species
Gastromyzon punctalatus. This is not to be confused with pics of that species in older publications. Dr. Tan properly identified several species that had been misidentified years earlier and he also discovered new species. The striped fish is a real beauty too, but its a mystery to me.
I'm sure Dr. Tan would be interested in seeing these pics. I don't think I still have his email address, though.

Oops, I posted the below in the wrong topic a few moments ago... I'll try again here:
Borneo24...
I know a fish store owner in Australia (Brisbane) who specialises in hard to find tropical species. The owner is like me and you and most others on here: they love botia loach species and the hillstream loach 'borneo sucker' species. I will talk to them about getting some special fish through you.
I know personally I would love about 6-10 of every little different type of borneo sucker / sewellia / gastromyzon that you can catch.

(edited because I had mispelled sewellia)
