Species of my loaches?

[thapsus]

Any loach specialists?
I'm quite shure both of these are Gastromyzon but which...? First is probably G. punctulatus but what's second....? G. ridens would be possibility but I don't think so.

Ah, so you have hillstream loaches too! Are they in the tank with your Hisonotus?

And no I don't know what kind of laoches they are, beyond hillstreams, but I think you posted the same pics to the loach forum and got some replies. Martin and the gang over there really know thier loaches!

there are so many types or "hillstream loach" available now, i myself have 6 varieties! I have only been only able to trace latin names for 2! so your the closest u can get is some kinda gastromyzon but some have names like pseudomyzon or even boforti! So poss look on the website loachesonline or sommit!
