From the Nile! Any ideas What it is?

Does anyone know what this fish is. I think it could be "nemacheilus abyssinicus" but I don't have any good info or picture to confirm.

Omo drainage, Gojeb River? Upper reaches of the Blue Nile.

Interesting! >> http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php ... 131615a5a8

Very difficult to tell from the pic as it's a bit blurry. Could you be a little more specific with the actual area this fish was caught in? My guess would be Garra dembeensis, but it's just that, only a guess!

Additional info:
From river nile (Aswan, Egypt), inhabits bottom waters at large rocks.

Garra dembeensis was the other fish I was considering. Must be something to that if we both had it as a possiblitity. I just have no experience with fish from this area and am wanting some assistance with ID!
