That was, like, loach crack. I was scrolling through going "ooooh, pretty!" and dreading that it would have to come to an end. Hee!

Thanks Soph. You know we are having another meeting on Fri 11th if you can make it. You'll be able to see those tigers in the flesh then!

the thing about working in education is that you never, ever, EVER get to have weekdays in termtime off unless you have photographic evidence of the heart and lung transplant you were receiving at the time...

Hi Emma

Great photo's as usual.

Looking at some of the vietnamese books i have, the Annamia looks like A. normani. The goby looks like Papuligobius ocellatus. The spotted 'Sewellia' sp. could be any of a list of similar new species described in a book:

S. songboensis
S. trakhucensis
S. medius / brevis
S. analis

Or any of the new Parasewellia sp described:

P. tetralobata
P. monolobata
P. polylobata

Hmmm, Parasewellia...sounds VERY interesting.
Are there any pics of these species in that book or any of the sewellia?

Very entertaining Emma, thanks for sharing. I never get too many of your random pics.

Very nice, I fell in love with the Rosy Loach

Hi Jim

Yes, there are photo's of all the species. Unfortunately they are all b&w, and are of poor quality, of preserved specimens, and all look very similar. All the text is in Vietnamese. In another book (in English) there are colour photo's of live S. albisuera, lineolata, marmorata, patella. (The Freshwater Fishes of Central Vietnam - Serov, Nezdoliy, and Pavlov, 2006).
