Some of the new loaches. Not too sure on the sewellia IDs but that is what I bought them under:
Sewellia "SEW04":

Nice! Wetspot I presume? I'd agree with the g. zebrinus.

Both of the sewellia were from Wetspot. The p. myersi was from a seller on Aquabid and the gastromyzon was from one of my LFS.

The old g. zebrinus I kept in the past, were a different color from this one which was why I was not sure on the ID. Not sure why this one is a darker brown/black.

There some very different groups under g. zebrinus. May even be separate species?

Very nice! There is so much variability in zebrinus it sometimes takes a while before you can tell for sure. The stripes in zebrinus tend to break up into spots as they age.

Thanks! I have been looking at Odyssey's thread to see if he has/had one like this.
