identification of pseudogastromyzon

[ch.koenig]

hi all
I just got pseudogastromyzon cf cheni which they are certainly not. does anyone know more?
14 species are valid: cheni, fangi, myersi, laticeps, peristictus are verified with pictures, rest 9. as the descriptions are not in reach it's difficult to decide

this one with the broken spine is not familiar to me at all



on fishbase there's a picture of fangi.

looks different to mine

and fasciatus?

Hi ch.koenig.
You got rare pseudogastromyzon sp!

You may have already looked.
Pseudogastromyzon sp became the topic in this forum before a little.

I think the top pic may be P. peristictus.
I used to have a link to the Mr. Tree picture site that had several species listed. Hopefully, someone else will have that link.

hoi charles
hi folks

as i have the same two spezies ...i am stil not sure about the lower one...is it really S. fasciatus??

the "fasciatus ones" behave really harsh against other fishes of the sams spezies...even while feeding they are quite rough to eachother... but beautiful!
