Interesting looking fish!

I wonder what that slender fish is?
Neogastromyzon?

[Martin Thoene]

Well I'll say Gastromyzon based on the Borneo location, but I've never seen anything like those. Think you could be correct on Neogastromyzon for the slender one Jim. They're certainly all very beautiful and desirable species.

There is such a wealth of interesting species out there. It amazes me as the years go by that new jewels keep being "discovered" by people from outside the native land of these fish.

Nice to see my article still getting quoted

Martin.

the smaller, slim one on the first pictures shows horizontal stripes. that's amazing. on the other hand we know not much about juvenile markings. but the body shape doesn't remember gastromyzon.

Ah great link Charles. Let's hope he sends you locality details.

Thank you very much for telling a very interesting site.

I'd like to know where their habitat is, too.

Very interesting fish!
The head shape of the slimmer one looks like a Protomyzon for me?
But who knows?

protomyzon is not completely out of question. the pics won't show enough details.
p. whiteheadi, griswoldia are out, aphelocheilus, borneensis are not documented.
