Would it be possible to get images of the fish taken from the side? There is no shortage of hypoptomatines, and on these pictures it is hard to see the patterning of the tailfin, whether there is an adipose fin, or whether the fish has an ocular diverticulum. Plus, how big is it?

I would guess that it's some kind of Nannoptopoma.

Unfortunately I do not have more pictures. This species is rather small around 2-2.5 cm TL

Thanks for your contribution
