Thanks for sharing the video. Never seen these in action before. Reminds me of corydoras.

What a nice video, thanks for sharing b-)

They seem quite visible.
Are they this visible all day, or just during feedding time?

This is a large specimen that was at Castleford's last catfish and loach show and auction this July. From memory it was about 4 inch TL.

They will be this visible just for feeding time and only if you don't move in front of the tank, so I will be sitting there extremly still.

So I guess you can compare them with S flavitaeniatus.
They have the exact same shyness
