I'm fascinated of the Pangio on pic 3 & 6! :) Is this also Pangio alternans?

Cheers all! :D

Indeed Thomas, one of them is is a Pangio alternans. And another one is a 'green form' Pangio doriae.

Great pictures! They've never really been my favorite (the serpentine loaches) but I can understand why so many people love them, they have a very unique character.
Regards,
Erik

Those are great looking fish, Graeme. I have myersi and kuhli, and they are pretty much "out" most of the time hanging out in thickets of Cryptocoryne. They seem very comfortable and unafraid in that environment. Is that their natural habitat, i.e., among aquatic plants?
Why does my aquarium always seem too small?
