Is that a Misgurnus of some kind in the background?

And it looks like an eye peaking out from under the sand.

Love the spots.

If I wouldn't freeze to death, I would move to England to shop at Steve's store. :)

Yes, you are correct, that's a Misgurnus anguillicaudatus that was supposed to be in the tank next door, but has jumped over.

Well done on spotting the eyes in the sand, Tanja, I'd missed that one.

They seem to have different head shape from Nemachilus of Masyae or Platiceps group, and the front area of their dorsal fin base lacks the red marking typical of masyae/platiceps.
