Thanks Madd duff and zenins

Glad that its helping you. The purpose of these trips is the same, to study their natural conditions and spread the knowledge among other hobbyists.

Few more snaps from Nayak's fishroom

Nemacheilus stigmofasciatus

Nemacheilus anguilla

Acanthacobitis moreh

Schistura semiarmatus

Schistura denisonii

Schistura nagodiensis (probably :? )

According to Nayak, there are 2 groups of Schistura sp in his tank. One group with around 7-8 bands and another with 9 bands. The 9 banded ones are more colorful and aggressive. The others just dont bother these bullys and keep to themselves.

I too like Schistura semiarmatus. Below is the snap of one caught in 2009. Posting both for comparison. At present this guy/gals caudal peduncle is roughly a centimeter wide.
