Sinibotia pulchra for these but I may be wrong
Its interesting that you say they are not social because my 4 are always swimming together, they are like little kids always nudging and knocking each other.
Mine didn't seem to gain much weight at first but I found that they really like Mysis, Pacific krill and chopped mussel frozen foods. I got them at around 3" and they are now over 4"

I honestly have no idea-the markings just between the two that I have are vary greatly and the face area looks slightly different between them aswell

I *think* the larger of the two resembles yours some what to a certain degree-there is a lot of variation between fish for this species?
I have seen no interaction between these at all, in their tank nor the one they have just been moved to bar a nudge out of the way at feeding time. Maybe its the fact there is only two of them-then again do I buy more
Sinibotia pulchra in the hope a larger group does them good or just hold off until I have an id Im sure on
At the moment they are getting fed three times a day on mixed frozens of shrimp, prawn, bloodworm etc so I hope to see some weight gain soon cause it sure isn't becasue they are not eating
Do you mind me asking what other species you house these with??
Thanks
