hi odyssey
thanks for the link. it's the second pictue of this species. I have no idea how zhou hang could know fangi etc I'll try a mail.
hi farid: tungpeiensis is not a valid name.

valid is chantingensis.

changtingensis fasciatus, fasciatus fasciatus, chantingensis changtingensis, changtingensis tungpeiensis are not valid. and so on.

see
http://www.itis.gov/
http://research.calacademy.org/research ... atmain.asp

what I try to say: as longe we have no asured pictures we have to wait for a revision, which is not in work. I asked a specialist and he can't help. most decriptions are in chinese or not available.
our species looks much alike fasciatus.

here we are again.

to the list on the previous page: elongata is not valid but elongatus
laticeps is valid and to add to the list.
so which one is which one?
cheers charles

Those are beautiful!! Are they aggressive to your other fish Charles? Like gastromyzons??

hi
agressiv? no. just a little rougher than borneo-types. pseudogastromyzon differ in the way to go into the concurrent: quick as a flash and return to a save place. that's a foreign "language" for gastromyzons, which are "dancers"! but as soon the place is kept by the assaulted, the repertoir is common: rumbling, pushing ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZjNteBqCc
just one thing: against bigger specimen as s. wui, adult b. kweichowensis, sewellias they have not the slightest chance with a flash-attack and change to the common fighting rules

if you mean towards other species - not bodysucker-types: no.
but they wipe away all from "their" favourite stones: shrimps, snails (if they could!), even little lineolatas of 10 mm as concurrents, something sewellias don't (may be the juvenile patterns are made just for this; an interesting issue for a scientific work!)
that makes: in tank with pseudogastromyzon and other bodysuckers you will have a lot of interesting going-on. this species is an exellent sand-dweller as I've never seen before, reminds me of my lamprologus speciosus going headfirst into the sandhills.

hi all
when I remember right we didn't see this one here? in case yes I apologize

I found it in my archives: pseudogstromyzon laticeps in the wild near hong-kong. prominent catchers: Michael Lo and mr. Tree (alias Zhou Hang?). a lot of other animals and plants
