Its a Gastromyzon species.
These need really well oxygenated water, and will thrive in a community tank provided they get sufficient food. Good luck. |

Hi, ive been trying the wafers. Even with lights off. I went to pets at home on thursday and asked them, she showed me in there tanks and I pointed it out, she said a borneo sucker also. Told her about where I bought it and what they said, she was shocked, also I paid well over the odds by the sound of it Oh well, live and learn lol. |
