I have a couple......Gastromyzon ctenocephalus I think (they were only listed as Hillstream Loach at the lfs). Very shy at first and now eating anything and everything. I love the blue fins. Would like a couple more now that I've had them a while but I don't find them often locally.
Heres a really bad pic of mine that really doesn't do them justice.

Those are gorgeous!
Ive seen a variety of them at my local pet shop labeled as Hong Kong Pleco for $5 each but nothing like those blue fins. I wish I had the space and tank for them...:laugh:
The ctenocephalus are super cool! I'm trying to get my hands on some gastro. cheni. As far as their "need" for high flow conditions, dude at brianstropicals.com has had great luck breeding sewellia lineolata in tanks with not much more than a sponge filter, and has also reported much greater survivability of the fry in these low flow conditions, so as long as their needs for high dissolved oxygen content is met, the flow issue is probably far less important than it's made out to be.
