    Hi bornNeo,

    Wow! These fishes are quite attractive in their own right.

    The river tank setup is also very impressive! Wonder if the plants can survive such a strong current.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Cheers,

    p.s. you have a broken link in the post.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Thanks guys!!

    Benny, the plants is Piptospatha grabowskii, rather wide spread in Borneo. I collected it at small waterfall near the stream where I collected Gastromyzon sp. “SK01”. At a glance its looks like Anubias species, especially its inflorescence.(see attachments). Mainly they live in emersed form, but still can found in submersed.

    Perhaps the strong flow should be no problem, but because the lack of CO2 and too strong lighting, made it can not grow well, eventhough they still can produce some new leafs. I already removed it from “River Tank” several times ago. Beside in the nature, there is no aquatic plants in fast flowing streams where the Gastromyzon can found.
