Cobitis of JAPAN
Hi all.
I introduce several kinds Cobitis inhabiting Japan this time.
Complexity of the species differentiation of Cobitis is understood by a study of the recent gene analysis.
It is impossible they are too complicated, and to distinguish their species only by an appearance.
Cobitis takatsuensis
Cobitis shikokuensis
Cobitis sp
???Cobitis matsubarae???
?Cobitis biwae?
Cobitis sp MIX
With the link to show below, that a spot of Cobitis turns big by a habitation area is shown.

Hi everyone!
All these Cobitis are collected from an aquarium shop.
This was sold as C.biwae. However, it may not be so.
C.biwae, C. striata, C.matsubarai, C.takatsuensis, C.shikokuensis are written down
in the Japanese Cobitis genus, but it is not only five species.
http://mayatan.web.fc2.com/BUNRUI/Cobitidae.htm
Cobitis except C.takatsuensis and C.shikokuensis are unfiled taxonomically,
and they are the species group that a lot of species / subspecies are included in.
http://tansuigyo.maxs.jp/a/link7-10.html
The scientific name of Cobitis classified with a characteristic of the appearance
is going to be reviewed once by a recent DNA analysis result.
http://www.hup.gr.jp/details/ISBN978-4-8329-8192-8.htm
This is an example of the DNA database of the Japanese freshwater fish.

any ideas about the right one? Looks very similar to my unknown Cobitis:
have you a photo from the side?

Hi everyone!
Pictures of my Cobitis takatsuensis were on ARKive(Images Of Life On Earth).
http://www.arkive.org/japanese-spined-l ... atsuensis/
More pictures of Cobitis takatsuensis
The newcomer that joined in my tank recently.
Those were sold as Cobitis biwae.
