I`m not sure of the name of this fish, this is a picture of it`s underside while stuck to the glass, can anyone provide the name of this fish.

Hi Charlie

It resembles a borneo sucker, can't tell which one without looking at the colour pattern, but at least it is a start.

There is a new species out on the market and I have just acquired a few, hopefully they will breed in the home aquarium. Picture attached.

Enjoy, a nice fish.

I thought we agreed all unknown fish are now know as Frank?

On a more serious note it seems to be some sort of hillstream loach.

Do check out loaches.com for info on the hillstream loaches - they like current and cooler temps and graze on micro organisms in algae.  Mine never really took to most other foods, but I understand most do.

Woody - there has been a couple of people on loaches.com who have bred sewellia - Emma has been sucessful and there's someone from the States who's just posted that theirs are breeding like rabbits.  Good luck with them, they're stunning.

*we* didn't agree on anything Wulfboy.     it's George.
definitely a borneo sucker/hillstream loach (I've seen them called butterfly plecos too).  I had 2 of them with my goldies awhile back, as I read like Laura said, that they like cooler temps.  they never ate any 'normal' foods.
